Anyone with information — or who knows someone who does — is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Jerry Cooper at 425-508-0602 or jerry.cooper@wsp.wa.gov.

At the request of the Port Angeles Police Department, the State Patrol’s Major Accident Investigation Team has assumed investigative responsibility of the wreck.

Events are believed to have begun on Race Street and led to the scene of the wreck.

Under surveillance

Port Angeles police officials have said that two Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team detectives had Boe under surveillance on Race Street before the wreck.

They intended to stop and arrest him as part of an investigation into narcotics sales, police said.

The detectives had just called for a marked unit to stop Boe’s vehicle and were several blocks away when Boe sped away, turned off Race and a few minutes later drove through a stop sign on South Washington and collided with a vehicle, police officials have said.

Boe was declared dead at the scene, and a woman in a second vehicle involved in the wreck, Rebecca Doherty, 49, of Port Angeles, was injured and transported to Olympic Medical Center, where she was treated and discharged.
