The driver stopped and immediately fled on foot, damaging a resident’s property as he ran through back yards. Deputies and Eugene Police responded, set a perimeter, and began searching the area. The driver was not located, but was later identified as Shane Lyle Clarke, 28, of Eugene (pictured). Clarke also has a warrant for his arrest from the Oregon State Parole Board for Assaulting a Public Safety Officer. Another driver fled on foot from a traffic stop on Hatton Avenue, Eugene, at 1:30 p.m., initiating a perimeter and search. That driver was later arrested.
