The incident started when a Sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a purple, 1995 Honda Civic in the area of Herndon & Fwy 99. When the deputy activated his emergency lights to affect the stop, Smith failed to yield and a pursuit ensued.  The pursuit lasted for approximately 10 minutes and reached high speeds as it drove through several neighborhoods. Assisting CHP units were able to deploy a spike strip which disabled the vehicle near Fruit & Cortland. Both suspects then ran from the vehicle but were quickly apprehended. The subsequent investigation revealed that the vehicle was a reported stolen from Fresno, and that the suspects had put a different plate on the rear. Smith was arrested on charges of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, possession of burglary tools, and felony evading. Smith also had outstanding warrants for vehicle theft, burglary, and theft.
Ortiz was arrested on charges of vehicle theft and possession of stolen property. Both were later booked into the Fresno County Jail.
