The vehicle failed to yield to the marked patrol car\u2019s emergency lights and siren. The suspect vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed fleeing westbound on Highway 26 and forcing another motorist off the roadway. The pursuit was terminated a short time later for safety reasons but the suspect vehicle was seen on Sawyer Road near West Point. Deputies familiar with the area knew that Sawyer Road dead ends so a perimeter was established. When the suspect vehicle attempted to leave the area a short time later, deputies conducted a felony car stop and arrested the driver without further incident. Deputies discovered two different license plates displayed on the suspect vehicle, and neither plate belonged to that car. A check of the VIN number revealed that vehicle was stolen out of Manteca. During a search of the vehicle, deputies seized methamphetamine and a key that had been altered to be used as a burglary tool. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/shrbadge.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/shrbadge.jpg 342w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/shrbadge-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The driver, Lester Dias (age 32 from Escalon) was booked into the Calaveras County Jail on a felony warrant out of San Joaquin County as well as the following local charges:<br \/>\n2800.2 CVC \u2013 felony reckless evading a peace officer<br \/>\n10851(a)CVC \u2013 vehicle theft<br \/>\n496(d)PC \u2013 possession of a stolen vehicle<br \/>\n466PC \u2013 possession of burglary tools<br \/>\n11377(a)H&#038;S \u2013 possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine)<br \/>\n4462.5CVC \u2013 unlawful display of evidence of vehicle registration<br \/>\n14601.1(a)CVC \u2013 driving on a suspended license<br \/>\nBail $105,000 <\/p>\n<p>San Joaquin County Warrant<br \/>\n487 PC \u2013 possession of stolen property<br \/>\n496DPC \u2013 possession of stolen vehicle<br \/>\n10851CVC \u2013 vehicle theft<br \/>\nBail $25,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Point, CA..On 12-1-17 at approx. 1800 hours a Calaveras County Sheriff\u2019s Office patrol deputy initiated a traffic enforcement stop on a vehicle for a minor traffic infraction on Pine Street in West Point.
