~ Spokane police responded to a report of a stolen vehicle on the morning of April 22nd, 2026. Officer T. Leming, PIO, stated that the incident occurred around 7 a.m. in the area of 7000 N Colton.
According to reports, a Spokane city employee called 911 at approximately 8:10 a.m. to report a vehicle driving recklessly with a flat tire near 7th Ave and Inland Empire Way. The caller provided the license plate number, which matched the stolen vehicle reported earlier.
City park rangers in the area were able to gather witness statements and provide a description of the suspected driver. Shortly after, Spokane police officers located the suspect under the Sunset Bridge and attempted to make contact with him.
However, the male suspect refused to follow commands and fled from officers through High Bridge Park before eventually entering Latah Creek. Concerned for his safety, officers requested medics and fire rescue teams in case he was unable to get out of the creek.

Despite making several threatening statements towards officers, including threats to use a grenade against them, the male eventually surrendered peacefully after being de-escalated by authorities.
Upon taking him into custody, officers searched him and found the key to the stolen vehicle in his pocket. The suspect was identified as Parker Linder (22) and was arrested for multiple local warrants, including one for Assault 2nd Degree. He also faces new charges of Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting Arrest, and Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle.
Linder was booked into Spokane County Jail where he remains in custody. Images related to this incident include police locating the suspect and finding the key to the stolen vehicle on his person.
The Spokane Police Department commends their officers for their swift response and successful resolution of this dangerous situation. They also thank city park rangers for their assistance in gathering crucial information.
