A parolee-at-large led Sacramento County sheriff's deputies on an 11-minute chase through Antelope this morning that ended with what authorities described as a "violent fight" between the suspect and two deputies.
The deputies and the suspect, 23-year-old Orin Colbourn of Rancho Cordova, were all treated at area hospitals for injuries sustained in the brawl, according to authorities.
The pursuit began shortly after 12:45 p.m., when a team of deputies went to a mobile home park near Watt Avenue and Antelope Road looking for a parolee-at-large they learned might be staying there, said sheriff's Sgt. Tim Curran.
While speaking with deputies, residents pointed to a green Ford Mustang pulling into the park and said the man they were looking for was in that car, Curran said.
Deputies got in their patrol cars and tried to pull over the Mustang, but the driver did not yield, Curran said. A pursuit through residential neighborhoods in Antelope ensued, with speeds reaching close to 90 miles per hour, Curran said.
A patrol supervisor called off the pursuit, but deputies continued to follow the Mustang "at a safe distance" and without lights and sirens, Curran said. Near Marysville Boulevard and Bell Avenue, the driver lost control of the Mustang, and deputies intervened when the driver tried to drive away again, Curran said.
The driver ran from the Mustang but was stopped by deputies close by. The driver resisted, Curran said, resulting in injuries to the driver's face, one deputy's hand and the other deputy's leg.
Colbourn, identified as the driver, was arrested on suspicion of evading police, resisting arrest by force, reckless driving, possessing methamphetamines, assault with a deadly weapon and violating parole, Curran said. He was then treated for his injuries.
Curran said Colbourn turned out not to be the parolee-at-large that deputies had been searching for, but that he also was a parolee-at-large.
Two other occupants of the Mustang do not face charges, Curran said.
During the pursuit, a K9 deputy clipped another car's sideview mirror with his patrol car's sideview mirror, Curran said, but nobody was injured.
