Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett said Washington's new police reform laws, which came into force recently, prevented officers from pursuing Loudon while he fled the police.

«Наибольшее влияние на наших жителей окажут изменения в нашей способности преследовать подозреваемого, скрывающегося на транспортном средстве. Сотрудники правоохранительных органов смогут начать преследование только при наличии «вероятной причины» для ареста человека, подозреваемого в совершении насильственного преступления или правонарушении на сексуальной почве, такого как убийство, похищение, стрельба из проезжающего мимо автомобиля или изнасилование», — заявили в офисе шерифа округа Пирс.

The hospital that released Loudon has been criticized for patient escapes and staff shortages. In 2018, when the facility failed to pass a safety inspection, the federal government stopped funding it.

Loudon was arrested wearing a yellow sundress. He is charged with car theft, possession of a stolen car, malicious harm, first degree domestic violence and attempting to escape from the police.
