Crook Co. Suspect At Large After High-Speed Chase, Abandoning Trailer

PRINEVILLE, OR -- Crook County Deputies are on the lookout for a man they say eluded a traffic stop Wednesday morning. Deputies report seeing a pickup pulling a trailer on NE Orchard Lane, at about 11 a.m., but the camp trailer had two flat tires. They tried to stop the driver, identified as 26-year-old Blake Harlan, but say he wouldn't pull over.

Harlan is accused of then leading deputies on a lengthy pursuit on Highway 26, east of Prineville. Eventually, the trailer was dragged on its axels only. And, at about milepost 31, it came unhooked from the truck. The driver left it behind and continued on Ochoco Highway, at time exceeding 100 miles per hour. 

Harlan had a misdemeaner warrant and now faces additional charges when he's caught. 

 

UPDATE: Deputies executed a search warrant on the abandoned trailer and say they found more than 350 pounds of marijuana inside. Harlan remains on the run.
