SPOKANE, Wash. — A 13-time convicted felon is back behind bars after he stole a car and ran from police multiple times.
According to the Spokane Police Department (SPD), police attempted to conduct a traffic stop on 27-year-old Christopher C. Bacon. SPD said when the officer activated their emergency lights, Bacon took off, swerving through heavy downtown traffic.
