Santa Rosa officers arrested a man who allegedly stole an ambulance after he asked for a ride to go a hospital, police said Thursday.
At 7:53 p.m. Wednesday, officers learned that there was a person in an altered state at the Russian River Brewing Company at 725 Fourth St. They found 36-year-old Sonoma resident Jorge Sanchez Rodriguez, who told the officers that he was having an anxiety attack and asked to go to a local hospital. Police said officers offered to drive Rodriguez but he declined and wanted to be transported by ambulance.
Police said that as the ambulance approached Fourth Street, an officer was able to deploy a set of spike strips. Two of the tires on the driver's side of the ambulance were deflated but Rodriguez managed to continue driving the ambulance. He turned south on Mission Boulevard and then west on Montgomery Drive.Officers planted two more sets of spike strips along Montgomery Drive, deflating the other two tires. However, Rodriguez continued before stopping at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
