CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – An Antioch man suspected of a series of bank robberies in Northern California was arrested Sunday morning in Clearlake Oaks, with authorities releasing video of a high speed pursuit with the man and his subsequent arrest.

Wesley Allen Krohn, 31, was arrested in the case, according to Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

At 8 a.m. Sunday the Lake County Sheriff’s Office received information from the Clearlake Police Department that Krohn was at a residence in Glenhaven, Brooks said.

Brooks said Krohn was reported to have made statements that he would “shoot it out” if he was ever contacted by law enforcement. 

Sheriff's deputies and Clearlake Police Department officers responded to the area and staged at a location within close proximity of the Glenhaven residence, Brooks said.

Krohn was observed leaving the area of the address and heading eastbound on Highway 20. Brooks said a sheriff’s deputy pulled in behind the suspect vehicle and confirmed it was registered to Krohn. 

The suspect vehicle turned into the parking lot of a business and then left the business heading westbound on Highway 20 at a high rate of speed, Brooks said.

Deputies and Clearlake Police officers attempted to overtake Krohn's vehicle, which Brooks said was traveling at approximately 80 miles per hour.

As they approached Highway 20 and Foothill, Brooks said a deputy noticed that Krohn was several hundred yards ahead, was still accelerating and starting to pull away from the two pursuing law enforcement vehicles. 

A deputy, who had taken a position at Lakeview Drive and Highway 20, deployed his spike strip as the suspect vehicle approached his location. Brooks said the spike strip was successful in deflating the tires on Krohn’s vehicle.

The pursuit continued for a short distance until Krohn brought the vehicle to a stop in the middle of Highway 20 near Pingree Road, Brooks said.

Krohn exited the vehicle and started running southbound toward the shore of Clear Lake. Brooks said a deputy exited his vehicle and ordered Krohn to get down on the ground with his hands extended to his side. 

The deputy noticed Krohn reach for a semiautomatic pistol from the area of his waistband and throw it to the ground. Brooks said Krohn then was taken into custody without further incident. 

Clearlake Police officers later took custody of Krohn and transported him to their department office for further investigation, Brooks said.

Krohn later was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility, where he was booked on a federal no-bail warrant and numerous local charges, according to Brooks.

Sheriff Brian Martin thanked his deputies and dispatchers as well as the officers from Clearlake Police Department who worked together to ensure Krohn – who authorities called a “dangerous criminal” – was taken into custody.
