At approximately 4:20 p.m., Eureka Police officers arrested detained a man in the 1400 block of Dean Street which is a dead end. According to the witness, “A vehicle came screaming down the street pursued by EPD with lights and sirens on.”

When the driver reached the end of the road, the witness said he pulled into the turnout there. “An officer got out with his gun drawn,” she said. “He yelled, “Put both your hands out the window now.” Then she said, the officer approached the vehicle with his gun drawn. “He got the guy out of the car and then cuffed him,” she said. Four other law enforcement vehicles showed up. There was at least one sheriff deputy, the witness said.

At this time we’re not sure why the arrest incident occurred. When we get more information, we’ll update. [Note: It appears that there was no actual arrest but rather the man was detained and eventually released.]

Can outrun a radio but can sure give it a good try with a car like that if you are a good driver

Maybe he’s still alive because he complied with the demands made by the officer. Black, white or green all over shouldn’t matter

You mean only shooting people that point guns at them. Cops get killed by people with guns and knives, not skin colors that you don’t like.

This is the same pos that was cutting people off in traffic yesterday and almost caused a wreck in front of Walgreens on Broadway. Glad they caught him. My guess, he has no license…

You know nothing! They thought they had the owner of the car that has warrants, it was his buddy driving, they let him go…

Wow, you can lead cops on a high speed chase through town, endangering innocent civilians, and NOT be arrested (just “detained”) when caught?!? Of course, then you’re immediately released back into the world so you can do it again?

Just another example of why criminals feel like there aren’t any consequences for being criminals.
