north bound on South Main Street at a high rate of speed. He ran another
red light at South Main Street and Hwy 4, and continued west bound on
Hwy 4 to Pool Station Road at speeds reaching over 100 mph.
The

climb over a fence, and run into a nearby field. An Angels Camp Police
Department K9 was deployed, and the driver was apprehended.
The
driver of the vehicle was identified as 29 year old Scotts Valley
resident, Kyle Rogers. Rogers was treated for minor injuries, then
booked into the Calaveras County Jail for Evading a Peace Officer,
