With the helicopter keeping a visual of the vehicle, units on the ground were able to back off and create distance. Despite no patrol units actively chasing the car, the suspect allegedly continued to drive recklessly at speeds exceeding 100 mph, passing other vehicles on the shoulder and using the center median of the highway, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The suspect then drove into the area of Pinole and Hercules before turning back toward Vallejo. He eventually pulled over on Interstate 80 and was taken into custody by the Vallejo Police Department and CHP, a video from the Sheriff's Office shows. Copyright © 2026 Bay City News, Inc.
