A 37-year-old Aloha man faces six charges including identity theft and credit card fraud after fleeing a stolen car and leading Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies on a foot chase through a residential neighborhood on July 2.

Deputies responded at 1:45 p.m. near SW 202nd Terrace and SW Kim Place in Aloha to contact Carlton Morris, who was wanted in connection with several criminal investigations, the sheriff's office told KOIN. When deputies moved in, Morris bolted from the stolen vehicle on foot.

Deputies used a drone and a K9 unit to track Morris through the neighborhood. The drone followed his movements from above while the K9 team closed in on the ground, according to the sheriff's office.

Morris jumped a fence and tried to hide in front of a home on SW 203rd Court. Deputies detained him shortly after.

Morris was taken to a hospital for dog bite and taser injuries before being booked into the Washington County Jail. His charges: unlawful use of a car, unlawful entry into a car, identity theft, credit card fraud, third-degree theft, and an outstanding parole warrant.

The sheriff's office said Morris was wanted in connection with multiple open investigations before the July 2 encounter.

The combined response mirrors a similar pursuit less than two months earlier. On Tuesday, May 12, Deputy Oien and K9 Rexx tracked a suspect who fled a stolen vehicle near SW 160th Avenue in Aloha.

In that case, the drone monitored the scene from above before the K9 team moved in, locating 36-year-old Vance Lind of Mesa, Arizona, hiding under a blanket in thick brush.

The sheriff's office has expanded technology-assisted policing in the Aloha area this year. A bait bike operation launched in mid-April netted at least 34 arrests in its first few months, targeting theft in the unincorporated community just west of Beaverton.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office has jurisdiction over Aloha, which sits outside Beaverton city limits. The agency said it "continues to look for ways to keep Washington County safe and embrace technology as a tool to improve public safety."
