P. v. Day
Shortly before midnight on January 28, 2008, defendant Christopher John Day drove a car with no rear license plate through a construction zone at approximately 80 miles per hour. Using emergency lights and siren, Deputy Sheriff Michael Putnam began a pursuit. The car slid into a driveway where it hit a parked pickup truck, then accelerated to about 40 miles per hour in a residential area. After driving through a red traffic light, defendant stopped the car and fled on foot. Putnam caught defendant when he attempted to climb a fence. They struggled and defendant did not comply with Putnams orders to lie down on his stomach and place his hands behind his back. Putnam and his partner handcuffed defendant and walked him toward the patrol car; but defendant broke free and ran down the street before he was recaptured. The judgment is affirmed.
