Man Arrested After High-Speed Chase Ends in Crash
A San Diego man wanted on numerous warrants was arrested Sunday morning after a high-speed chase that ended when a California Highway Patrol officer rammed his vehicle into the suspect’s car.
The chase began about 10:45 a.m. when San Diego County deputy sheriffs tried to arrest Brent Balderree, 25, wanted in connection with weapons charges and on other warrants, at a Spring Valley self-storage business, a sheriff’s spokeswoman said.
Over the next half hour, Balderree evaded deputies in a chase through Spring Valley, La Mesa and San Diego. The chase ended in San Carlos, near Jackson and Golfcrest drives, when a CHP patrolman rammed his car into Balderree’s pickup truck after the suspect had begun driving the wrong way on Jackson, the spokeswoman said.
Balderree is being held in County Jail without bail, the spokeswoman added.
