PORT ANGELES — A 23-year Port Angeles man remained in the Clallam County jail Saturday after allegedly trying to break into a home on East 11th Street on Friday afternoon.
Port Angeles police arrested Joshua Goudie, 23, also known as Joshua Roas, for investigation of one count each of residential burglary, third-degree malicious mischief, third-degree theft and obstructing a law enforcement officer.
He remained in the Clallam County jail on $25,000 bond Saturday.
Police arrested Goudie in the yard of a house in the 100 block of East 10th Street after chasing him through an alley and across Lincoln Avenue, Port Angeles Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith said in a statement.
Police investigated a report of a person illegally entering a house in the 200 block of East 11th Street at about 3:15 p.m. Friday.
Officers said they saw Goudie flee from the house and that they chased him across Lincoln Avenue, eventually cornering him in the yard of a home on East 10th Street.
Deputies from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the arrest and investigation.
Smith said the Port Angeles resident’s timely report of the alleged burglary was a principal factor in the apprehension of Goudie.
