PETITIONING THE COURT
To incorporate the below allegation with the two pending petitions before the Court, dated August 19 and 23, 2024,
(ECF No. 67 and 69). A warrant was previously issued by the Court on August 21, 2024.
On May 9, 2024, conditions of probation were reviewed and signed by Ms. Gorst acknowledging an understanding
of her requirements and conditions.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following conditions of supervision:
Violation Number
8
Nature of Noncompliance
Mandatory Condition #1: You must not commit another federal, state or local crime.
Supporting Evidence: Ms. Gorst is alleged to be in violation of her conditions of probation
by being charged with felony eluding in Toppenish, Washington, (incident number 25P3617)
on July 4, 2025.
On July 7, 2025, this officer reviewed Toppenish Police Department incident report
25P3617, dated July 4, 2025. According to the incident report completed by Detective
Sergeant Vanderhoof, on July 4, 2025, at approximately 0725 hours, he was on patrol,
training a new lateral officer. While clearing from a graffiti call at the Dollar Tree, a primer
gray Toyota Tacoma was observed leaving the alleyway behind 107 South Alder Street. A
female driver was observed operating the vehicle, and the detective immediately recognized
the female to be Susen Gorst. The detective knew her because of multiple previous arrests
and contacts with Ms. Gorst during his 7 year career with the Toppenish Police Department.
She had also been involved in drug investigations.

The detective followed the vehicle she was operating, bearing license plate YN9183. The
detective believed Ms. Gorst did not have a driver’s license and asked dispatch to check for
her driving status, wants, and orders. Dispatch advised Ms. Gorst had a U.S. Marshals
warrant. After Ms. Gorst’s vehicle crossed the intersection of State Route 22 and Highway
97, the detective activated his vehicle’s emergency lights. After waiting approximately 3-5
seconds, Ms. Gorst was not pulling over or slowing down and there was a semi-truck in front
of her vehicle. After not yielding, the detective activated his vehicle sirens. Ms. Gorst still
did not pull over. The semi-truck pulled over and Ms. Gorst went around it. She then began
to pick up speed. The detective pursued Ms. Gorst giving ample opportunity for her to pull
over. Once she passed the semi-truck, there were no other vehicles in front of Ms. Gorst and
she continued to drive, trying to flee. Ms. Gorst reached speeds above 80 miles per hour
(mph) in a 55 mph zone. After confirming what the U.S. Marshal hold was for, the detective
discontinued the pursuit and dispatch advised surrounding agencies of the vehicle, the
suspect, and her last known location, which was south bound on Highway 97.
On July 7, 2025, Ms. Gorst was arrested and booked into the Yakima County Jail on charges
for felony eluding.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court incorporate the above-noted allegation with the
petitions pending before the Court (ECF No. 67 and 69).
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
