Bellevue police arrest suspect for ‘intentionally ramming’ vehicles at dealership

A suspect is in custody after intentionally ramming his vehicle into two high-end luxury cars at a Bellevue dealership on Sunday, police officers reported Monday.

Bellevue police responded to the Bentley dealership located at 1882 136th Place NE shortly after 8:30 p.m. yesterday after reports of a black Honda, occupied by one person, “intentionally and repeatedly” hit two parked cars. Officers arrived and detained one suspect, a 32-year-old Seattle resident. Officers also located two vehicles that had significant damage – a brand new Bentley and a Rolls-Royce.

Two witnesses stated they saw the driver of the Honda ram the unoccupied parked cars multiple times. When interviewed, the suspect told officers that he had not slept in about three days, and claimed that he may have had a panic attack. The owner of the Bentley dealership told officers that the two cars that were struck would likely both be a total loss. The estimated value of the two vehicles is over $500,000.

Officers placed the suspect under arrest for malicious mischief in the first degree and later booked him into jail.
