Amador County – Amador County Highway Patrol Officers assisted in a high-speed pursuit last Saturday that originated in Stockton and eventually ended in Calaveras County. The pursuit began on Highway 99 near Woodbridge Road after a San Joaquin County CHP Officer noticed Stockton resident Stephen Earl Wise, 50, driving recklessly. According to the official arrest report, Wise did not stop when prompted and the pursuit entered Amador County at Highway 88. Amador CHP units took over the pursuit of Wise, which passed through Jackson and continued down Highway 49 into Calaveras County. At times the chase exceeded 100 miles per hour. Wise veered off on Neilsen Road, where he lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree. Responding Calaveras CHP Officers tazed and subdued Wise when he resisted arrest. Wise was suspected to be under the influence of drugs and was charged on multiple felony counts. It was later determined that Wise was avoiding arrest because of parole violations. Wise was returned to San Joaquin County where he is being held in the county jail. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
