Introduction:
In a dramatic turn of events on Tuesday, a pursuit through Modesto involving Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office vehicles and a stolen gray SUV resulted in significant damage to both the suspect’s car and the law enforcement vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident. The driver of the stolen vehicle, identified as 31-year-old Roberto Acosta from Modesto, was eventually apprehended and now faces multiple charges.

Pursuit and Collision Details:
According to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office, the pursuit began when deputies attempted a traffic stop on Rouse Avenue in West Modesto. The driver, later identified as Acosta, fled the scene, prompting the deputies to initiate the pursuit. In an effort to bring the chase to an end, law enforcement officials employed the “police intervention technique” (PIT) maneuver, which unfortunately resulted in one patrol car crashing into a utility box along Kerr Avenue in the airport neighborhood.

Determined to stop the fleeing suspect, another deputy attempted to immobilize the stolen SUV by ramming into it. As a result, Acosta lost control of the vehicle and collided with both a tree and a chain-link fence, causing significant damage. Undeterred, Acosta abandoned the SUV and attempted to escape on foot. However, he was swiftly captured by the pursuing deputies, as mentioned in the Sheriff’s Office statement.

Suspect Arrested and Charges:
Thankfully, no injuries were reported during the pursuit and subsequent collision. Acosta, the sole occupant of the stolen vehicle, was taken into custody shortly after attempting to flee. He now faces several charges, including auto theft, possession of a stolen car, evasion, and violating post-release community supervision. Acosta’s bail has been set at $345,000.
