A K9 was struck during the pursuit and suffered minor to moderate injuries, according to the CHP.
RICHMOND – California Highway Patrol officers on Friday night arrested a driver who led them on a car chase from the East Bay to San Francisco, where he hit a police dog, and then back to the East Bay, according to a spokesman for the agency.
The pursuit started around 3:20 p.m. when a Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputy tried to stop a stolen Infiniti sedan on westbound Highway 4, said CHP Officer Andrew Barclay Barclay said the driver did not pull over and the deputy pursued him to westbound Interstate 80, where the chase was handed off to a police helicopter. The copter then followed the driver through Richmond, Albany and Berkeley, and into San Francisco.A CHP officer believed the driver was going to run from the car and got his K9 out of the back of his cruiser. The driver, however, took off in the Infiniti and hit the dog, as well as several vehicles, Barclay said.
Barclay said the driver got out of the Infiniti at an apartment complex at 3909 Fleming Ave. in Richmond and ran into a unit. Officers cordoned off the area, and shortly after 9 p.m., the driver surrendered and was taken into custody without incident. The driver likely will face charges of felony evasion, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a stolen vehicle, Barclay said.
