[UPDATE 12:22 p.m.: Water Rescue Underway] Wild Pursuit Has Suspect Fleeing at Speeds of Up to 100 MPR, Running on Foot, and Then Getting Into a Canoe…
Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office deputies are pursuing a suspect in Redwood Valley after a simple stop associated with expired registration tags resulted in the driver fleeing at speeds up to 100 mph. The suspect then fled on foot through vineyards and most recently ended up on the back patio of a home in the 3300 block of Road J in Redwood Valley.
He then found a canoe, capsized the canoe, and has gotten back in the craft. The suspect is reportedly “refusing commands.”
Scanner traffic indicates the suspect was driving a silver 2005 Ford Focus fleeing deputies for approximately fifteen minutes through the rural roads of Redwood Valley including East Road and Road J before reportedly bailing on foot wearing white shorts and a Raiders jacket and running through vineyards and, eventually, ending up in a canoe in a pond.
The suspect is currently surrounded by law enforcement, in the middle of the pond, a deputy on scene told the dispatcher.
UPDATE 12:15 p.m.: A water rescue is underway for the suspect in the canoe.
UPDATE 12:22 p.m.: According to the Incident Commander, “[The suspect] says he’s going to flip the boat and says he can’t swim.”

Ever have that day? You just want to go fishing, and nothing goes right.
well dang I’m glad I did my bike ride around the valley earlier otherwise I’d be in the middle of all of this.
Fleeing into a pond? Good luck with that dude.
Ha,ha! This is funny as f**k! Reminds me of the Trailer Park Boys episode where they’re trying to smuggle pot over the border and they end up in the middle of the river negotiating with Canadian and American law enforcement agents about who can give them the best deal if they turn themselves in.
I could see jumping in a canoe to get away down a river, but good Lord, son, you’re in a pond!
Hahaha.. ya Ricky and his dad got their diploma’s.. they were so proud..
Conky: Woohoo! Today’s getaway has been brought to you by, the letter F… for fucked in the head, which you are, Ricky!
Definitely not the first time I’ve thought of trailer park boys in regards to the shit I’ve seen and read about in the past 10yrs. Ooooh boy. Thanks for the laugh

🕯🌳Them good old boys just don’t give up easy. 🖖🖖
“[The suspect] says he’s going to flip the boat and says he can’t swim.” I’d be tempted to call that bluff.
Indeed. This guy is not negotiating from a position of strength.
Run Forest run
🕯🌳Lol.👍🏽👍🏽
Another one! I thought yesterday’s guy in the white Subaru was going to be the limit of my weekend amusement.
I guess not.
“…and I can’t swim!”
sheesh!
All this show, it’s going to be interesting to learn why, exactly, he tried to ditch the car and the cops.
Human and $$ resources put to good use, NOT.
So you’re suggesting . . . . .what? An idiot flees a police traffic stop and the cops do nothing? Why is he fleeing? Could be a wanted murder convict or suspect. Could likely have warrants. Yeah, sure, dude flees at high speed and it’s too expensive to chase him. If public safety becomes an issue, break off the chase. I notice no blame laid on the fugitive, only the cops. You have no idea what the suspect’s status is, but the cops are bad.
He should stay in the pond and declare himself a sovereign island nation.
THIS!! Baahahahaaha!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂👍!
Hahahahahahahaha. Can’t swim and jumped in a canoe. Hahahahahahahaha.
You just can’t make this shit up.
Yeah, it’s almost every day you can’t make this shit up.
Where are the dogs? Maybe they can’t swim either. Got to be a fathers day joke. A video would be nice.
Wondering if it was the same guy that was smoking a cigarette at hopland store didn’t take him long to get out of jail sounds like something he would do
Wearing a Raiders jacket? That may explain a lot right there.
Between the description of the clothing, the vehicle and his current predicament, it explains everything
Can’t make up some of the wardrobe choices of the parade-of-perps these days. Eat your heart out, Quentin Tarantino.

Huh?
You mean to tell me you’re not familiar with The Trailer Park Boys? It’s supposedly written and produced in Nova Scotia, but by God, if those boys weren’t inspired by Humboldt County I’ll eat my shorts.
Same goes with the animated series, “Squidbillies.” If that’s not a spot-on depiction of life in Manila back in the ’70s and ’80s I don’t know what is.
Yeah, and it’s the cops’ fault if he drowns, man. None of this shit is his fault. Just ask Darnl.
