FERNDALE, Wash. — A wanted Ferndale man led authorities on a high-speed car chase through Pleasant Valley on Tuesday night.
At about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Whatcom County Sheriff’s Deputies received information on the location of 38-year-old Shawn Sivo, who was wanted on multiple charges.
Deputies located him driving northbound in the 7100 block of Valley View Road at a high rate of speed.
When they tried to stop him, the suspect continued to drive recklessly and eventually spun out into a ditch, at which point Sivo and his passenger were taken into custody.
Deputies later found a bag the suspect had thrown out the window during the pursuit that contained a loaded handgun, heroin and methamphetamine.
