[UPDATE 7:47 p.m.: Photo] High Speed Pursuit South of Eureka
Two Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies are in pursuing a vehicle south from Eureka past King Salmon at 7:04 p.m.
One deputy told the dispatch that the driver in the vehicle he was pursuing slammed on his brakes and caused the deputy who was speaking to hit another pursuing deputy’s vehicle. This occurred near Hilfiker. That deputy dropped out of the pursuit saying his vehicle was damaged.
The dispatcher said that the driver called 911 and said ‘he is not going to stop until deputies kill him.’
A spike strip was in place but the driver avoided and the pursuit continues past Palmer Drive.
UPDATE 7:16 p.m.: The CHP took over the pursuit and one officer reported to dispatch that the man pulled over by Metropolitan Road south of Hwy 36 and surrendered.
UPDATE 7:45 p.m.: The vehicle, which has Washington plates, is shown pulled over in the photo below.

Thank you. I was wondering what that was all about.
That comment is way out of line.
Is this the same guy that shut down last chance grade last month,threatening to kill himself over expired tags?
Could be but that vehicle had Oregon plates.
