Sheriff's officials said the chase started in the Tower District, continuing onto State Route 180 east. When spike strips couldn't slow the suspect, identified as George Boston, 43, deputies following in a helicopter noticed the vehicle was registered with OnStar.
Authorities were able to slow the truck down to 5 miles per hour remotely. Boston drove through an orchard near Sanger, officials said. Deputies fired bean bags and pepper balls into the truck, and a K9 officer was deployed, biting Boston.
After a scuffle, Boston gave up. He was arrested and taken to the hospital with minor injuries. He faces charges of possession of a stolen vehicle and evading officer.
Sheriff's officials say Boston has a lengthy criminal history.
