Video of Suspect in Attempted Theft of a Cop Car After He Is Run Over by the Vehicle
A video was sent to us showing part of yesterday’s altercation between Eureka Police and the man they accuse of trying to steal a police car about 1:30 p.m. on D Street near the intersection with 4th.
The video starts after the alleged theft attempt. According to Chief Steve Watson, The suspect, Kyle Stevens, had “opened the driver’s door, entered the vehicle, and attempted to put it in drive. Shifting only in neutral, Stevens was quickly pulled from the vehicle by one of the officers as he revved the engine.”
Watson said, “As the officers were securing Stevens on the ground, the vehicle, which was still in neutral, rolled over his legs.”
The video begins as one officer is half laying on the ground looking under the car presumably at the suspect. Another officer quickly gets in the vehicle and reverses it off the suspect. (Note: putting the video in slow motion is helpful.)Watson said that the suspect “sustained non-life threatening abrasions to his lower legs. Stevens was transported to the hospital for evaluation prior to booking at at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for felony auto theft.”

Had to read the title a couple of times.
I think I better head to bed. That was pretty bad and my revised one isn’t much better.
That’s quite okay, Kym. Thanks.
Was that video worth posting? Really?
That cop is so fucking stupid. Why is he still on the job?
🕯Good night Kym.
I usually never feel sorry for these people. But this guy is 20 years old and he’s so pathetic looking, I don’t know, he’s somebody’s child? He’s already hit rock bottom at such an early age, just sad.
Rapist are someone’s sons or daughters. Murderers are someone son or daughter. Child molesters are someone’s son or daughter. Still feel sorry for this guy?
I feel sorry for all of those people. What’s wrong with you?
Glad the cop car wasn’t stolen and I’m glad nobody got hurt.
All’s well that ends well…
I’m just glad the cop car wasn’t hurt.
He must of though it was a Porsche 911 i mean he might be able to read #s but not letters
Even I would steal a Porsche 911. Forget about Toyota trucks! Steal a real car.
