Local felon arrested after car chase in Salinas
A Pacific Grove man is behind bars for several charges.
It all started on Tuesday, when Monterey County deputies were sent to San Benancio Road in Salinas on reports of a man in a silver Honda, stealing items out of cars.
After being spotted in the 300 block of Corral De Tierra, deputies attempted to stop him and were led on a pursuit.
The man eventually crashed into a creek at Corral De Tierra and Highway 68 and fled on foot, before he was stopped and arrested.
The suspect, 23-year-old Jeffrey Rutt had an outstanding felony warrant.
A search of his car produced drugs and stolen items, including three guns, electronics and jewelry.
