On December 25, 2025 at approximately 8:53 AM on northbound I-5 near North 85th Street, the Northgate area in Seattle, Washington, Washington State Patrol troopers contacted Alexander Eugene Smith after reports of a pedestrian moving through active freeway lanes. What begins as a dangerous traffic-safety call turns violent in seconds—Smith shoves a WSP lieutenant to the ground, jumps into her marked patrol cruiser, locks the doors, and speeds off, triggering a police pursuit that ultimately ends on southbound I-5 in Lynnwood after troopers use a PIT maneuver to stop the stolen vehicle. In this full police bodycam / dashcam video, you’ll see troopers trying to control a rapidly escalating situation on a crowded highway, the moment the suspect makes a sudden move toward the patrol car, and the immediate response that follows as WSP coordinates a pursuit to recover the stolen cruiser. Investigators say Smith admitted to smoking methamphetamine prior to the incident, and prosecutors charged him in King County Superior Court with second-degree robbery and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle. At the time of reporting, the court ordered a competency (mental health) evaluation, placing arraignment on hold while the case continued through the legal process. Watch until the end—because once you see how fast this goes from “routine contact” to a trooper on the ground and a cruiser speeding away, you’ll be left with one question: Could this have been stopped sooner… or did it unfold too fast for anyone to prevent? If you like police bodycam footage, DUI arrests, refusal cases, and real-world encounters that escalate fast, watch this one all the way through—because the breath test portion is where everything gets chaotic. 👉 PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO REAL CRIME VIDEOS HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@RealCrimeVideos/?sub_confirmation=1 ✅ WATCH UNTIL THE END: Should the Trooper just have shot the tires out before he sped away? 👉 What do you think about this incident where he was able to steel the Troopers Cruiser?
