On July 18, 2018 at 2:15 p.m. Beaverton Police officers responded to a suspicious vehicle/person call at SW Erickson/SW Larson. The complainant reported a male and female were possibly casing houses and when confronted, the male mentioned having a gun. Officers recognized the description of the male and his vehicle as being the same ones involved with eluding officers a week prior.
Officers arrived and visually confirmed it was the same male, 26-year-old Chase Larrazabal. Mr. Larrazabal tried to ram three patrol vehicles. A vehicle pursuit ensued which ended when Mr. Larrazabal crashed his Mercury Mountaineer into a Lexus sedan and Toyota Tacoma at SW Murray/SW Teal. Mr. Larrazabal’s vehicle ended up partially submerged in the lake.
Mr. Larrazabal tried to act like a crash witness but was quickly taken into custody. Mr. Larrazabal and his 35-year-old female passenger were taken to a local hospital for precautionary measures. The 66-year-old female driver of the Lexus was taken to a local hospital for serious injuries. One passenger of the Toyota Tacoma was taken to a local hospital for precautionary measures.
Officers and deputies from the Washington County Crash Reconstruction Team are assisting with the investigation. After Mr. Larrazabal is released from the hospital he will be lodged at Washington County Jail on his three misdemeanor warrants, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, Assault in the Second Degree, Felony Elude and crimes associated with last week’s incident.
