Tracking Of Tablet Leads To Arrest

A Portland man was arrested in Hood River County Sunday afternoon after law enforcement was assisted by a theft victim’s mobile phone application that was tracking her stolen tablet.  According to Oregon State Police reports, the suspect was first contacted by a trooper in Mosier, and when he learned the trooper was investigating a theft at the Wahclella Falls trailhead he fled in a vehicle.  The trooper did not pursue, but the suspect was tracked to Morton Road near milepost 61 on westbound Interstate 84, where his vehicle became stuck.  Hood River County Sheriff’s Office aircraft assisted in locating the suspect hiding in trees and brush, and troopers took him into custody without incident.  Most of the stolen items were found in the vehicle.  48-year-old Chad Lawrence Daggy of Portland was lodged at NORCOR on charges of theft, attempt to elude, reckless driving, criminal trespass, and multiple warrants.  A passenger was interviewed and released.
