Drinking, drugs ruled out in death of teen chased by deputy
EVERETT, Wash. -- Drinking and drugs apparently have been ruled out in the death of a teenager after a Snohomish County sheriff's deputy used a PIT maneuver.
Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz says an investigation into the death of 18-year-old Randy Privrasky of Marysville is continuing.
The young man's parents says they were given an autopsy report stating Privrasky was not under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Goetz won't confirm those findings.
The chase began March 28 after a deputy tried to pull over Privrasky on a two-lane road as snow was falling.
After two minutes, the deputy apparently tried a pursuit immobilization technique, or PIT maneuver, in which a fleeing vehicle is bumped in an attempt to cause it to spin out and stall. Instead, Privrasky's newly acquired 1991 Dodge Spirit slammed into a tree.
