A Woodinville man is in jail after leading police on a brief vehicle pursuit in Moses Lake on Sunday.

Officers with the Moses Lake Police Department pulled over a car matching the description of one that had been reported stolen in the area of Pioneer Way and Hill Avenue at around 7 a.m.

"During the traffic stop, officers recognized the driver who decided to take off," says Sgt. Jeff Sursely.
