Man BLAMES law enforcement for his deadly crash that killed beautiful college girl: 'You could've not chased me'

A 13-time convicted felon who is accused of killing a 20-year-old college girl has claimed the police officers who were chasing him were the cause of the fatal crash. Donald Wayne Rownan, who was on parole, allegedly killed Paola Parbol Arredondo around 9.30am on October 15 in a car accident after he ran from law enforcement in Parkland, Washington. The 47-year-old career criminal, from Forks, admitted to running from the authorities, but said the officers who were after him were the ones to blame. 'Rownan's demeanor appeared as if he did not care and did not believe it was his fault,' according to the trooper who interviewed the felon. He added: '[Rownan] stated something along the lines of "You guys could have not chased me." I told him I was shocked by the lack of accountability.' The parolee was being pulled over for his three arrest warrants, but never stopped for officers and admitted that he fled because he didn't want to go back to jail, according to Komo News. Seconds after fleeing, Rownan ran a red light in his Chrysler 300 and t-boned Arredondo's silver Toyota Corolla. Arredondo, who was on her way to class at Pacific Lutheran University, was killed on impact. Rownan attempted to flee the scene on foot after the collision. He was caught and is now facing eight charges, including murder in the second degree, vehicular homicide, failure to remain at an accident resulting in death, and vehicular assault DUI. The remaining charges include failure to stay at an injury accident, attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle, escape from community custody, and reckless driving. Two others were in the car with the tattooed man and were taken to the hospital for their injuries. Rownan is being held on $750,000 bond, according to King 5. The repeat offender also confessed to going about 75 to 80 miles per hour during the time of the casualty. A drug recognition expert found that Ronan was likely under the influence of one or multiple substances, according to the outlet. Investigators also discovered drug paraphernalia within the Chrysler. Before the crash, the Washington man had been arrested 36 times. When Arredondo's boyfriend, Gabriel, was asked by King 5 what he felt when he saw Rownan in Pierce County Superior Court, he said: 'Y'all don't want to hear what I have to say about him.' He then went on to describe the young woman: 'She was very smart, ambitious, whatever she wanted, she would go and get it for herself. 'She would always work hard - she was a hard worker.' Arredondo was studying criminal justice and social services and worked part-time at a day care, according to her boyfriend's mother. Tearfully, she added: 'Such a young life taken away from us. She goes to church every day.' 'It's so sad because her parents aren't even here - they live three hours away.' A GoFundMe was launched to help with the funeral costs, which has raised nearly $11,500.
