A man who was chased relentlessly by Corning Police last year has been sentenced. Last June 19th an officer tried to pull over 46-year-old David Raymond Robinson for having expired registration on his car. Robinson led the officer on Southbound Interstate 5 at 100 miles an hour, then through the streets of Corning while running multiple stop signs and red lights. At one point he drove directly toward a police car and then side-swiped it. That officer continued the chase back onto I-5 going south in the northbound lanes until the officer rear-ended Robinson and forced him off the road. He was finally caught after a foot chase. In December a Tehama County jury found Robinson guilty of felony reckless evading and felony evading while driving the wrong way, as well as misdemeanor assault on a peace officer. He’s been sentenced to 6 years in state prison.
