Othello man arrested following chase
STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 3 years, 6 months AGO
OTHELLO — An Othello man was taken into custody late Friday after leading Adams County Sheriff’s Office deputies on a chase that ended on Main Street in Othello, according to a statement from the ACSO.
The statement said Andres Garza, 35, of Othello, was wanted in connection with a robbery when ACSO deputies located his vehicle and used a pursuit technique to bring his car to a stop. In an ACSO dash-cam video, a sheriff’s deputy pursuing Garza uses the front end of his car to nudge Garza’s vehicle so that Garza was forced to turn, spin out and come to a stop on Main Street.
Garza’s car is then surrounded by police vehicles, according to the video. The statement also said deputies used a Taser against Garza because he resisted arrest.
Garza has also been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, theft of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, driving with a suspended license and attempting to elude police pursuit, the statement said. In addition, Garza also has three outstanding misdemeanor warrants, according to the ACSO.
