What statute (code section) is he charged with violating?

And, what is your question?

Evading sounds like a possible failure to yield. This act of stupidity that places everyone on the road in extreme danger, has been growing in popularity lately. At least here in Riverside it is anyway.

I've heard four separate failure to yield/car chase scenes come over the scanner in the last three days here in the city of Riverside alone. Yesterday's had the passenger tossing hand guns out the window of the car while being chased.

One on Tuesday ended with a good laugh. At the start, the suspect was driving recklessly at speeds in excess of 100 on the city streets, trying to lose the cruisers. Until the helicopter came into the picture. Then the guy must have known it was all over but the knee in the back as the cuffs are applied.
Even still, he wouldn't pull over, although he only drove at about 20 to 30 miles per hour once he realized the air unit had him.
The funny thing is that he must have become so pissed at himself for doing something that was going to take his freedom away for a while, that he began to beat his head against the steering wheel like some sort of mad man for the last ten minutes of the chase.
When he finally stopped, he was nearly unconscious from smashing his head on the wheel that they had to have medical aid transport him to general!

Never a dull moment in this city. Even the CHP had to shoot someone in the parking lot at Denny's yesterday afternoon. Maybe it's the full moon?
I've even come up with a new city motto, but I don't think the city council will appreciate the honesty in it.

"Welcome to Riverside. Come on Vacation, Leave on Probation!"

Pretty catchy huh?

So Carl, do you guys up north get many failure to yields?

Not as many as we did when I was in So. Cal. People up here just don't seem to run as much ... guess we have a smarter breed of crook up here.

Rubidoux? You mean the town where time has stood still for the last 75, maybe 100 years.
Actually the county built a sheriff station there and a new school. But prior to that development, I would say the town hardware store hasn't sold a nail since it stopped selling hay.

Rubidoux does however, have the only grocery store I know of, where the manager not only wears a white shirt, tie and name tag, but also a leather belt with a right handed holster where his Glock is always at the ready. This is a true story, I saw it myself during my first and only time shopping there.
Seeing that rather unusual fashion statement didn't bother me so much, until I noticed he also had a spare magazine belted on his left side. Now that scared me! Because the Glock 9mm holds 17 rounds, which I'm quite sure this guy has in the gun at the start of his day. So when I see the guy wearing a spare magazine with another 17 rounds on his belt, I just have to wonder why?

I expected to hear a few shots ring out at any moment. Followed by an announcement over the PA:
"Attention Timmy, we need a clean up in aisle three,,,,, paging Timmy, clean up in aisle three,,, and Timmy, make sure you save the brass this time!"
