Beaverton driver who fled the police In May 2022 and collided with another car, seriously injuring that driver, he was sentenced last week to 6 1/2 years in a state prison in relation to the accident and a case of separate identity theft.

Christopher Shane McKelvey, 43, was driving a BMW without license license plates on May 22, 2022, when the agents of the clakamas county sheriff and Gladstone police officers tried to stop him.

But McKelvey, who has been sentenced for identity theft several times since 2002, took off almost 90 mph and crashed into a man in a 1989 sub -sub -in -intersection at the intersection of southeast Oatfield Road and Glen Echo Avenue.

In May, the wounded driver, Noah Gardner, sued the Sheriff’s office for clackamas county and the Gladstone police for $ 1.3 million, claiming that police agencies caused the accident by chasing the suspect. Gardner’s demand is scheduled for trial in October.

In 2021, the Sheriff’s office ordered the deputies Do not chase the suspects Unless a suspect has seriously injured people or raised “immediate danger” to the public. Days before, a Milwaukie’s 54 -year -old man died After he was beaten by a suspect of theft that fled from the deputies of the Sheriff.

McKelvey did not declare police competition and the second degree assault in February in relation to the 2022 accident.

He also declared himself guilty of a position of aggravated identity theft in relation to a separate incident in which the agents said they found him hidden in an entertainment store for Fantasyland adults with identifications that did not belong to him in a nearby garbage boat.
