Is it typical mall parking, or a crime?

BRIDGEPORT – On what some of us might consider just another typical parking day at a shopping mall, a Douglas County Deputy on routine patrol last Sunday, Dec. 10, spotted a vehicle driving recklessly on Tacoma Street and 21st Avenue in Bridgeport. 
The Deputy turned on his emergency lights and siren, but the car sped away.
So far, nothing unusual here.
Then, the driver ran six stop signs (that’s a half dozen all at once, mind you) as the Deputy pursued.   
The suspect vehicle drove into the PUD parking lot. Now, if that is close to the mall, probably not a bad choice.
When the Deputy pulled in behind vehicle, the driver put the car in reverse and rammed the patrol car. Except for the little detail of a patrol car, this is looking more like mall parking all the time.
The pursuit continued.  The suspect vehicle had a flat tire and eventually was forced off the road. 
The young woman driving the car resisted arrest.
The vehicle was found to be stolen from Bridgeport on Dec. 8.  The driver, 24-year-old Yvon Lopez-Flores of Bridgeport, was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, felony eluding, and driving under the influence.
A passenger, 20-year-old Christopher Rodriguez of Bridgeport, was arrested on a Department of Corrections warrant.  The shoppers - or rather criminals - were booked into the Okanogan County jail without further incident. There were no injuries. That’s probably only because it wasn’t Black Friday.
