A San Jose man pulled over by police Sunday was arrested after he allegedly tried to flee the traffic stop by pulling over on Highway 85, ditching the car and running down an embankment before being located by police K-9.
The 45-year-old man was pulled over around 11 a.m. on March 17 after he was seen running a stop sign near the intersection of Moffett Boulevard and Highway 85, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson. Instead of pulling over, the suspect sped up and entered Highway 85. Once on the highway, he ran out of the car and down an embankment, Nelson said.
A Mountain View police K-9 unit helped search for the man, who was found hiding in the embankment, Nelson said.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of willfully fleeing a police vehicle, which can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, as well as resisting arrest and possession of a methamphetamine pipe.
