Two Arrested After Pursuit

Two fugitives from eastern Washington were arrested on numerous charges after leading police on a high speed chase in The Dalles Monday evening.  According to Oregon State Police reports, a trooper working the Fifteen Mile Creek Construction Zone near milepost 85 on eastbound Interstate 84 observed a car traveling faster than the posted 50 mile per hour limit.  The car left the freeway at milepost 85, and when the trooper stopped the driver on East 2nd Street and began to approach the car the vehicle sped away, with the pursuit going out Highway 197 and eventually reaching East 14th when the suspect crashed into a parked car.  The driver and a passenger were apprehended trying to hide behind a residence on East 15th, and a search of the vehicle found two pistols, two rifles, one short barrel shotgun, less than a gram of heroin, pipes containing methamphetamine residue, and other drug paraphernalia.  The driver, 25-year-old Daniel David Sallee of Four Lakes, Washington, faces a laundry list of charges including attempting to elude, possession of firearms by a felon, and reckless driving.  The passenger, 24-year-old Ronald Lee Ricci of Cheney, was arrested on attempting to elude and fugitive from another state charges.
