A 36-year-old Sonoma man accused of stealing an ambulance and kidnapping a medic was arrested on Wednesday, after leading police on a chase, investigators said.
Santa Rosa police said officers were called to the Russian River Pub on 4th Street, where an employee there reported a customer appeared to be in an altered state.Officers, accompanied by mental health services, arrived on scene, where suspect Jorge Sanchez Rodriguez told them he was suffering from an anxiety attack and said he wanted to be transported to a hospital by ambulance.
"The Officer was successful in deflating two of the tires on the driver’s side of the ambulance, but Rodriguez continued to drive the ambulance," police explained in a social media post on Thursday. Police remained in chase, and a short time later deployed more spike strips which succeeded in deflating the remaining two tires. But investigators said the suspect still did not stop and continued on until he reached Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital located on Montgomery Drive.
