CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A day after a vehicle chase with a pickup Clearlake Police officers were involved in another chase, this time with a Clearlake man who fled from police on a motorcycle.
Frank Floyd Cox, 49, was taken into custody following the chase, which occurred just before 1 a.m. Sunday, according to a report from Sgt. Martin Snyder.
Officer Travis Lenz attempted to initiate a traffic stop on Cox at the intersection of Phillips and 35th avenues based on numerous vehicle code violations, Snyder said.
However, Snyder said Cox led officers on a pursuit through numerous streets in the Avenues and Lakeshore Drive portion of the city.
During the pursuit Cox is alleged to have discarded an item that Snyder said officers later recovered and determined was approximately 6 grams of concentrated cannabis.
Snyder said the pursuit finally ended when Cox crashed his motorcycle near a wooded area on Hemlock Avenue. Cox was taken into custody without further incident.
Snyder said Cox was booked into the Lake County Jail on felony charges of evasion and possession of concentrated cannabis, and misdemeanor driving on a suspended license. Bail was set at $10,000.
Jail records indicated that Cox remained in custody on Monday.
