RECKLESS DRIVER, 25, LEADS POLICE ON CHASE BEFORE ARREST
A 25-year-old man from Modesto was arrested late Friday evening after he was seen speeding through Ceres and led police on a pursuit.
At 11:19 p.m., Ceres Police Officer Juan Ramos was patrolling the area of Whitmore and Central avenues when he saw a Kia Telluride being driven recklessly by Isaiahez Macias. He was traveling at such a high rate of speed that Officer Ramos was unable to catch up to him until he approached the intersection of Morgan Road near Hackett Road.
Officer Ramos attempted to vehicle stop but Macias fled and a pursuit was initiated. The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s helicopter was overhead in minutes to track him while the ground pursuit was terminated out of concern for public safety.
The pursuit ended when Macias failed to negotiate the corner at Whitmore Avenue and Blaker Road, and ran the car into a fence. Macias ran from the vehicle which caught fire but was apprehended with the help of Stanislaus County Sheriff’s deputies and a canine.
Officer Ramos detected signs that Macias was under the influence of alcohol. He was booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center on charges of evading police in a vehicle, DUI, resisting arrest, fleeing from the scene of a vehicle collision and driving on a license suspended for DUI.
Macias’ arrest was one of 10 DUI arrests made last week.
