PORT ORCHARD — A Kingston man was charged with vehicular assault for an Aug. 3 crash that occurred, injuring three women, while he was fleeing police.
Stacy Stanley Callihoo, 45, of Kingston, was charged in Kitsap County District Court with three counts of felony vehicular assault.
According to a report from the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office: A Suquamish police officer saw a car make an unsafe turn on Geneva Street in Suquamish. The officer noticed the driver was Callihoo, who was banned from Suquamish Tribe land.
Callihoo was stopped at Miller Bay Road and Canyon Creek Road. At the driver’s window, the officer instructed Callihoo to turn off his car. Callihoo allegedly did not comply. The officer attempted to grab Callihoo’s arm to place him under arrest, but Callihoo broke free and quickly drove away northbound on Miller Bay Road. The officer pursued.
The officer lost sight of Callihoo as he sped over the crest of a hill. Nearly half a mile away, the officer reached the top of the hill in time to see Callihoo’s car collide with a southbound vehicle at Miller Bay Road and Barrett Drive.
The officer arrived as Callihoo was climbing out of the car, allegedly to flee. Callihoo was arrested at the scene. The officer noticed Callihoo was injured; he was sent to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton for treatment.
There were three women within the car that Callihoo’s car struck. Each were sent to Harrison Medical Center with injuries, including a compression fracture/back injury, a fractured pelvis, and a fractured collarbone.
A blood sample was taken from Callihoo, according to the report. Toxicology reports on the blood reportedly indicate that Callihoo had recently used marijuana and methamphetamine.
Two pipes, one for using marijuana and the other for meth, were allegedly found in his vehicle, according to the report. Two grams of marijuana and .8 grams of meth were also allegedly found in the car.
Callihoo was in Kitsap County Jail on Oct. 29 and is expected to be in court Nov. 13 and Nov. 25. He is also being held on charges of failure to appear in court and failure to register as a sex offender.
