Overview
- Footage from the Sunday morning encounter, obtained by police, shows a driver repeatedly cutting off a couple, veering into oncoming traffic and at one point pursuing them in reverse.
- The victims stayed on the phone with 911 and drove directly to the Beaverton Police Department where officers located and arrested the suspect without incident.
- Police identified the suspect as 29-year-old Arman K. Hastings and found a black airsoft handgun in his jacket before booking him into the Washington County Jail on reckless driving and menacing charges.
- Beaverton police released portions of the dashcam video and the frantic 911 call to solicit witnesses, to demonstrate how dashcams help investigations and to share safety advice for drivers who feel threatened.
- Neighbors expressed concern about reckless driving in the suburb, local coverage praised dashcams as crucial evidence, and prosecutors and police continue to develop the case and ask anyone with information to contact the department.
