The Washington State Patrol reported a citizen gave a tip of seeing a stolen 2007 maroon Chevrolet Trailblazer with a driver matching Jonathan Bowles, 36, of Lewiston. Troopers located the vehicle on Pines Road in Spokane Valley. Dixon appeared to be in the passenger seat.

The SUV stopped for a short time and then fled from police. The vehicle was found abandoned later.
