Beat-Down At Puyallup Birthday Party After Truck Crash

PUYALLUP, WA - A drunk man drove his pickup into a mobile home during an adult birthday party early Tuesday morning. The pickup driven then had the "crap" beaten out of him by party-goers, according to police.

The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at a mobile home off Valley Avenue north of downtown Puyallup. The pickup driver started hitting a woman at the party, so the man's friend convinced him to leave. When the two got into the drunk man's pickup, he accelerated and crashed into the mobile home's porch.

"The party goers told deputies that after the impact, multiple people exited the mobile home and pulled the suspect out of the truck and began 'beating the crap out of him.' The suspect was able to break away and fled the scene with his friend on foot prior to the deputies arrival. His friend who was in the truck at the time of the collision also ran from the house," the Pierce County Sheriff's Office wrote in a description of the incident.

Police later found the 22-year-old drunk pickup driver walking along Houston Road near SR 410. He was shirtless, bloody, and trying to get help by telling people he had been kidnapped.

Deputies took him to jail on charges of second-degree assault, hit and run, reckless endangerment, and second-degree malicious mischief.
