A high-speed chase, ended by Sacramento County sheriff's deputies when they physically intercepted the fleeing vehicle with their patrol cars in Rancho Cordova, has left a man charged with three felonies, records show.
Terry Charles Hargrow, 50, is charged with felony evading a police officer and reckless driving, driving a stolen vehicle and receiving a stolen vehicle. He also is being held on a no-bail parole violation charge.
Hargrow was on parole from a 2007 conviction for several drug possession and sales felonies. He received a four-year prison term, court records show.
Hargrow has a criminal history going back to 1989 when he pleaded guilty to a DUI charge and received 15 days work furlough and three years informal probation, according to court records.
Between those charges and charges he is now facing, Hargrow was convicted of felony attempted robbery and felony drug possession and sales. He also was convicted of misdemeanors including drug possession and sales, domestic violence, vandalism, passing bad checks and making a false identification document, court records show.
His latest arrest went down like this, according to a Sheriff's Department summary:
At about 2:27 p.m. on March 23, a deputy spotted a vehicle reported stolen being driven in Rancho Cordova. The driver initially pulled over when signaled by the deputy but then sped off.
The suspect drove at speeds of more than 70 miles per hour through a residential neighborhood and past an elementary school.
A deputy attempted to stop the speeding vehicle with his patrol car by bumping it. But the vehicle spun before taking off again. Another deputy stopped the vehicle with his patrol car, the summary states.
The suspect, who deputies identified as Hargrow, resisted arrest before he was shot with a stun gun and subdued, deputies said.
