After fleeing the traffic stop, Toon ditched his vehicle and escaped onto a nearby golf course, the DA office explained, adding that he was arrested three days later in Sandy, Oregon, about 20 miles away.

Dig deeper:

Toon, whose full name is Loony John Franklin Kolb Toon, was on probation for attempted first-degree kidnapping at the time of the stop, according to the DA office’s statement. He is reported to have 25 criminal convictions, 16 of which are felonies. 

What's next:

As part of his plea agreement with Clackamas County, Toon will also plead guilty to charges he is facing in four other counties. Any prison time in those jurisdictions would run concurrently with his sentence in Clackamas County, the DA’s Office noted. He will also pay restitution for the damage to a police car and another individual’s vehicle.
