RAYMOND — Sirens wailed through downtown Raymond during the early morning hours of Sunday, March 24, while officers chased a man on a dirt bike. The culprit evaded law enforcement for nearly an hour while tearing through the downtown streets.

The high-revving incident unfolded at approximately 1:53 a.m. after the rider passed an officer from the Raymond Police Department. The suspect, Trevor Boss, 31, of Raymond, was riding a Honda CRF110, which has an estimated top speed of 50 mph.

He was pursued by officers with the Raymond, South Bend and Shoalwater Bay police departments and the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office. One officer came into service while off-duty to help capture Boss.

At one point, Boss performed donuts along 3rd Street in front of the Raymond Theater before crashing, quickly hopping back on, and peeling off again.

Eric Fuller, an SBPD officer, also responded to a subsequent call at the 101 Quick Stop on Heath Street for a distraught female who turned out to be Boss’s spouse.

“Officer Fuller was at the [101 Quickstop] on another call, when he was approached by Boss,” lead investigator RPD Officer Rikki Changala [Coma] states in court records. “Officer Fuller advised all units that Boss was at the 101 Quickstop, still driving the dirt bike.”

“As I pulled up to the 101 Quickstop, Boss took off out of the parking lot and headed north on [7th Street]. I activated my emergency equipment in an attempt to stop Boss. Boss continued on [7th Street] and passed multiple oncoming patrol officers who also had their emergency equipment activated in an attempt to get him to stop,” she added.

The Pacific County 911 Dispatch Center advised officers they had received several calls about the motorcycle, including sightings of where the man stopped. At one point, he stopped and posed in the middle of the roadway on 3rd Street for a citizen who was capturing the chaos.

“I tried to talk some sense into him,” photographer Ezra McCampbell said.

Officers attempted multiple times to talk some sense into Boss, including at one point when he pulled up alongside their rigs and taunted them into chasing him. Boss allegedly even looked back at the officers and held up his hand, flipping them off while yelling “F*** you.”

“Boss drove from Heath Street to Franklin Street running the stop signs at Commercial St., Duryea St., and Franklin St.,” Changala stated. “Boss turned left on to Franklin St. then ran the stop sign as he entered Highway 101 headed northbound over the North Fork Bridge them took a left onto Park Ave. into Riverdale.

“Boss continued down the side streets and alleyways to get away from us. I followed Boss down a dead-end alley when he turned around and drove his dirt bike back toward me weaving around my patrol vehicle. Other officers followed Boss out of Riverdale across Highway 101 onto Monohon Landing Rd. and up Wildwood Rd.,” Changala added.

Boss rode his dirt bike uphill through brush and then fled from officers on foot. PCSO Deputy Lucas Marthaller and Officer Shane Frank pursued after him and apprehended him at the top of Riddell Street.

“I arrived at the top of Riddell where Deputy Marthaller and Officer Frank had Boss pinned to the ground and were attempting to restrain Boss in handcuffs,” Changala stated. “Boss resisted for several minutes and it took [four] officers to get Boss restrained.”

“Throughout my contact with Boss he has been extremely uncooperative, belligerent, disrespectful, and difficult. I have also noticed he has bloodshot watery eyes, he’s loud, repetitive, with an odor of intoxicants coming from his person,” Changala added.

Boss was arrested for DUI, reckless driving, felony eluding and resisting arrest. He was transported to the Pacific County Jail before being transported to Willapa Harbor Hospital for medical clearance.

According to court records, Boss refused a Dräger test to check his blood alcohol content, and after being read his Miranda rights refused to speak with officers without a lawyer. He was initially held in the Pacific County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, March 29. Boss posted bail around 3:49 p.m. on Monday, March 25.
