Deputies Arrest Driver After Early Morning Pursuit

There was a sort of a chase Friday morning by Shasta County Sheriff’s Deputies and the CHP. A man called 9-1-1 shortly before 6 O’clock and said he had been sleeping in the camper shell of his truck when a man got into the cab and drove it away. The truck was tracked on I-5 to Knighton Road, then Churn Creek and Dersch Road. Spike strips were laid out in different places but the driver kept changing his route. He was finally stopped and detained near Churn Creek and Knighton Roads.
