The officer followed Bartholomew into a neighborhood and was joined by a second officer. They attempted to use their patrol vehicles to block the suspect’s vehicle but he drove between them and back onto city streets. The officers pursued.
During the pursuit, the suspect opened fire on a pursuing officer and at a Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputy’s patrol vehicle, police say. One round hit the deputy’s patrol vehicle.
The pursuit continued on state road 99 (99 freeway) and on surface streets. During the pursuit, Bartholomew reached speeds of more than 100 mph and drove the wrong way at times.
An Elk Grove officer was able to stop Bartholomew’s vehicle with a PIT maneuver, police say.
The suspect was ordered to put his hands up and not to move. Instead, the video shows him driving into a patrol vehicle in an attempt to escape.
