Fence ‘Shredding’ Driving Suspect Sought After Melee

Benton County Sheriff's deputies are seeking a wild driving suspect after they allegedly took out a large section of fence then abandoned their vehicle.

Wednesday night, Sheriff's responded to the area of the Old Inland Empire Highway and Rothrock Road just Northeast of Prosser, after witnesses said a car same sailing down the road then tore through a large section of fence.
