BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The man wanted for leading Bellingham Police on a high-speed chase with his RV last month has been arrested and faces new charges.
Lt. Claudia Murphy says Marco Montoya Salinas demanded fentanyl pills then beat a woman at a residence on Texas Street on Sunday, November 13th.
Officers surrounded the home and demanded he surrender.
He tried to escape over a balcony railing but retreated back into the home and claimed he was not the person they were looking for.
He then said he was having a medical emergency, but officers were able to take him into custody without incident after obtaining a search warrant.
Salinas was wanted for crashing his RV into two police cruisers and leading officers on a wild chase through the city on October 27th after they tried to arrest him on outstanding warrants.
He faces charges from the RV chase, the old warrants, and for domestic violence for attacking the woman on Sunday.
