RENTON, Wash. - The Renton Police Department said they got a call about a man knocked out cold at the wheel while stopped in the middle of the street on Dec. 19. When officers tried to wake him, he slammed the gas and took off.

"The officer arrived and looked in the car and saw someone definitely passed out and also noticed suspected drug paraphernalia in the seat of the car," said Meeghan Black with Renton Police Department.

The incident took place at the top of Benson Hill on 108th Avenue and Southeast Petrovitsky Road around 8:30 p.m.

"They started banging on the window of the car to wake him and get him to come out," Black said.

With the suspicion of drug use, officers put down spike strips to disable the car in case the driver woke up erratically and tried to flee. Sure enough – that's exactly what happened.

"He slammed the accelerator, literally pushed the patrol car out of the way, backed up and sped down the street," Black said.
