A 29-year old male was arrested Friday evening on multiple charges after eluding police in two separate vehicle pursuits on February 15, 2010, which ended when the male subject successfully fled on foot after abandoning the vehicle in the City of Redmond.
On February 15, 2010, at approximately 6:40 p.m. an OSP Trooper saw a silver 1995 Saturn two-door westbound on Highway 126 just west of Prineville traveling at speeds exceeding 80 mph in a 55 mph speed zone. The Trooper attempted to stop the car which fled from the officer at speeds exceeding 100 mph traveling in a reckless manner. Due to the extreme recklessness of the driver and immediate traffic conditions OSP discontinued the vehicle pursuit.
A short while later the vehicle was spotted by Redmond Police Department and a second vehicle pursuit was initiated which ended in the male subject successfully fleeing from the vehicle on foot.
The subsequent investigation identified the male driver as SETH ALLEN JOKINEN, age 29, from Redmond.
On Saturday February 20, 2010, at approximately 9:14 p.m. Officers from Prineville Police Department and OSP located JOKINEN at Ochoco Plaza in Prineville where he was taken into custody without incident. OSP arrested and lodged JOKINEN in Crook County Jail on the following charges:
· Felony Attempt to Elude in a vehicle
· Reckless Driving
· Outstanding No Bail Warrant - Probation Violation
· Outstanding No Bail Warrant - Parole Violation
Additional charges are expected to be filed by both Redmond Police Department and Prineville Police Department in reference to separate ongoing criminal investigations.
