During a high speed chase in Santa Rosa early Saturday morning, a woman jumped out of the stolen car and told officers the driver had held her against her will, police say.
The chase ended when the SUV ran into an embankment, at which point the driver fled on foot. Officers tackled him as he tried to jump a fence, police said.
The driver has been identified as Javier Contreras and booked at the Sonoma County Jail. He has been charged with false imprisonment and attempting to elude police with wanton disregard for safety, among other violations, officials say.
