A Friday-night police pursuit on Greenback Lane began after a driver fled from officers attempting to conduct a traffic stop of a pickup truck and trailer.
Police Sgt. Anthony Boehle told The Sentinel the suspect traveled westbound along Greenback before turning onto Park Oaks Drive. Officers lost the driver for a short time, Boehle said, before the vehicle was spotted just outside Citrus Heights near Park Oaks Drive and Coyle Avenue.
Residents reported a police helicopter circled the area making announcements while officers searched for the suspect. Boehle said a male was arrested for evading police.
No further information was available, and Boehle said his reasons for fleeing police were unknown as of Saturday morning.
