PORT ANGELES — A Clallam County jury has convicted Adam Bodey of attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle, Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John Troberg said.
Bodey, 38, of Forks will be sentenced March 4 in Clallam County Superior Court.
Bodey, who is in custody also for a felony bench warrant and is on a U.S. Marshals Service detainer, remained in the Clallam County jail without bond Saturday.
Bodey was driving westbound on Whitcomb Dimmel Road on Dec. 28 when he failed to stop for pursuing officers who sought to arrest him on a felony warrant, Troberg said.
“Bodey was signaled to stop with emergency lights and siren by Deputy Joseph Pursley and Forks Officer Todd Garcia,” Troberg said.
“Instead, he drove into a yard, then parallel to the deputy, then swerved towards the deputy and drove with two wheels in the grass and two on the roadway,” Troberg continued.
“After Bodey turned into his driveway, he was arrested at gunpoint.”
After his arrest, Bodey told Pursley that he wasn’t trying to elude the deputy but that he wanted to get the Nissan pickup truck he was driving to his house in case he had a warrant, court papers said.
Bodey has a second case pending with charges of two counts of first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and one count of fourth-degree domestic violence assault.
That case is scheduled to go to trial Monday.
