Police Pursuit Ends In Marin Crash

MARIN COUNTY, CA — A suspect was arrested in Marin late Friday night after leading a pursuit involving multiple agencies that ended in a collision, Mill Valley police said.

The suspect was identified as John Ripalda Delosreyes, 28 of Union City, The Marin Independent Journal reports.

Delosreyes was arrested on suspicion of evading police, vehicular hit and run and possession of marijuana for sale among other charges, according to the report.

Delosreyes and an officer were both treated and released from a local hospital for minor injuries, police said.

Officers at around 10 p.m. Friday responded to a Tiburon police automated license plate reader alert for a vehicle sought in connection with a felony case for evading authorities, police said.

The driver of the wanted vehicle fled sped away “with wanton disregard to public safety” after an MVPD officer staged near the city limits attempted to stop the vehicle, police said.

The suspect entered southbound Highway 101, quickly exited the freeway onto the frontage road in Mill Valley and later collided with a guard rail underneath the freeway, police said.

The suspect initially tried to run away but was located in a residential area and subsequently arrested, police said.
