On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 1:02 a.m., a Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputy patrolling in the community of Aloha near SW 185th Avenue and SW Johnson saw the driver of a 2011 silver Hyundai Elantra take off at a high rate of speed.
The deputy attempted a traffic stop, but the driver started trying to elude before abandoning the vehicle and running on foot near SW 185th Avenue and SW Baseline Road.
Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office and Officers from the Hillsboro and Beaverton Police Departments contained the area in preparation for a K9 track assisted by a drone. Within about 15 minutes, Corporal Terry and K9 Griff located the driver, 41-year-old Lloyd Gonzales, hiding in the neighborhood. Deputies discovered that the Hyundai Elantra had recently been stolen from the Cedar Mill area.
Gonzales was transported to the Washington County Jail and booked for attempting to elude, possession of a stolen vehicle, and unlawful possession of methamphetamine.
