Summary
28-year-old Isaac Paval was taken into custody near Turner Road after fleeing in a stolen Sacramento police cruiser from Sacramento County into the Lodi area.
Police said officers responding to a 12:30 p.m. vandalism call tried to detain Paval, but he broke away, took a marked patrol vehicle and triggered a chase later handled by the California Highway Patrol.
At 1:42 p.m. and again at 1:47 p.m., pursuing officers struck the cruiser in attempted PIT maneuvers, but Paval kept driving south on Highway 99 before slowing, getting out and surrendering.
Southbound Highway 99 was temporarily blocked and later reopened; no officers were injured, and Paval was hospitalized before booking on multiple felony charges.
Sacramento police said Paval was already on pretrial probation for DUI, and investigators are also examining whether he possessed a rifle during the incident.
