According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were called to a reported stabbing at a residence in Kittridge Canyon. On the way to the scene, they learned that the suspect had fled in a tan Ford pickup truck.
Elko Police Department officers spotted Pawlik going westbound on Idaho Street and attempted to conduct a traffic stop of the vehicle. At that point, the suspect tried to “elude the officers and a vehicle pursuit was initiated.”
In addition to the Elko department and the sheriff’s office, Nevada State Police joined in the pursuit. Eventually, Pawlik “chose to ram the vehicle into the main entrance doors of the Sheriff's Office,” said the office.
He was arrested and charged with “Felony Eluding Police, Driving Under the Influence, Domestic Violence with a Deadly Weapon, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Malicious Destruction of Government Property, and multiple traffic violations,” per authorities.
As of Tuesday, Pawlik was an inmate at the Elko County Jail.
This isn’t the only destructive police chase recently. Just this week, Audacy’s KNX Radio reported on a puppy being thrown from a car during a Los Angeles, Calif., police chase and a drunk driver who crashed into a Texas courthouse.
