A Forest Grove man was arrested in Hood River last week after a high speed chase and attempt to flee on foot. The Hood River Police Department says officers went to Columbia State Bank on 2650 Cascade late last Tuesday night after a member of the bank’s security team observed a man removing a Federal Express box from the ATM, and then drove an SUV into the nearby Walmart parking lot. An Oregon State Police trooper was almost hit be the SUV accelerating at a high rate of speed, and the vehicle went onto Westcliff Drive and then came back toward officers, who deployed spike strips to flatten the SUV’s tires. The suspect tried to run near Bradley Drive, but was taken into custody by the OSP a short time later. 22-year-old Matthew Hodgson was booked and lodged at NORCOR on several charges including DUII, attempting to elude, and possession of methamphetamine.
