At 7:00 a.m. that same day, members of the Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force were searching for Boyd in the area when he drove by in a Jeep Wrangler.
Police tried to stop Boyd, but he fled west on Highway 140. At milepost 21, he tried to turn onto a logging road when he lost control and drove onto an embankment, disabling his vehicle.
Boyd was taken into custody without further incident on a warrant for a parole violation as well as a new charge of eluding police.
