On 6/14/2024 at 8:45am, the Clark County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) responded to a reported carjacking that occurred in the 4500 block of NE 54th Ave. An unknown suspect pointed a handgun at the victims, demanded they exit the vehicle and stole their 1970s Ford F1 pickup truck.
The suspect fled southbound on NE 54th Ave. Shortly thereafter, a Vancouver Police Department (VPD) officer located the occupied stolen vehicle, which then became disabled on southbound Interstate 5 near the exit for NE Fourth Plain Blvd.
Additional CCSO, VPD, and Washington State Patrol units arrived on the scene and conducted a high-risk vehicle stop. The suspect was detained without incident and later identified by the victim as the carjacker. A firearm was located in the vehicle.
The suspect was identified as Edin M. Fallon, age 22, from Castle Rock, WA. Fallon was booked into the Clark County Jail on charges of Robbery-1 and Theft of a Motor Vehicle.
