The Suburban was then
spotted by Amador CHP Unit Sergeant Roderick Sloan. Sgt. Sloan heard the broadcast
while he was driving east bound on Highway 16 and observed the vehicle pass him
westbound. Sloan made a u-turn to
investigate and confirmed he had the vehicle in sight and that it was occupied
by a male driver and female passenger. Sloan continued to follow the Suburban
on Hwy 16 with the driver of the stolen car, at times exceeding 110 miles per
hour on the two lane roadway. Sloan radioed for a back up unit and other CHP
units and a CHP helicopter responded. The vehicle proceeded on west bound Hwy. 16 in a
reckless manner until the vehicle began to run out of gas. The driver then turned
into the Rancho Murrieta South development, pursued by Sloan and the back up
units. Sloan then
executed a felony traffic stop on the occupants of the vehicle identified as
Jonathan Coyne, 28 of Vacaville and Emily Johnston, 33, also of Vacaville.
The two were arrested by CHP Officer Frank Peixoto and transported to the
Amador County Jail on the charges including driving a stolen vehicle,
possession of a stolen vehicle and reckless driving.
