The King County Prosecutor's office rush filed charges against Julius T. Booth for domestic violence, kidnapping, and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle on Dec. 30.

The King County Sheriff’s Office said that the series of events began as a violation of a domestic violence restraining order in SeaTac. A man was seen forcing a woman, later identified as  his estranged partner into an SUV with two children in the back seat.

Deputies spotted the SUV on the road and began a pursuit. The said that the chase at times became reckless, meaning it happened at high speed from SeaTac to Federal Way with the suspect then heading back to Burien. The Guardian One helicopter kept an eye on the SUV too.

King County deputies chose to perform a PIT maneuver attempting to stop the SUV, which then crashed into several parked cars off First Avenue South in Burien. The SUV was surrouned with guns drawn, and the driver was ordered outo of the vehicle and was then arrested.

Neither the female nor children were hurt.
