KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – One man was arrested and another is still being sought in connection to a Thursday hit-and-run collision that injured two people near Kelseyville.

The California Highway Patrol said Adam James Gates, 32, of Kelseyville was arrested for obstruction and providing false information to a peace officer, with officials still seeking 24-year-old Anthony Jarvis, also of Kelseyville.

The CHP said that just after 3 p.m. Thursday Jarvis was driving a 1999 Dodge pickup towing a utility trailer headed northbound on Highway 29 south of Bottle Rock Road, with Sean Nugent, 43, of Kelseyville riding his 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle southbound. Nugent had a 14-year-old male juvenile riding as his passenger.

Jarvis, who the CHP said was driving at an unsafe speed as he pulled the trailer through a turn, lost control of his pickup, which jack-knifed and rotated sideways, blocking both lanes and spilling part of the load, the CHP said.

Nugent was unable to avoid hitting the trailing and suffered major injuries. The CHP said the juvenile had minor injuries.

Following the crash, Jarvis immediately jumped into a passing 1986 Toyota pickup, driven by Gates, according to the CHP. The men fled the scene without notifying authorities or checking on the welfare of Nugent or his passenger.

The CHP said Nugent was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Witnesses at the scene provided the CHP with a description of the fleeing vehicle and suspects. While CHP officers searched the area for the two men, Gates called 911 and told CHP Dispatch he had been carjacked at knifepoint.

CHP officers met with Gates and determined that he had made up the carjacking story to throw off investigators, according to the report.

They subsequently arrested him and he was booked into the Lake County Jail on the misdemeanor charges, with bail set at $5,000. Jail records indicated he later posted bail and was released.

On Friday the CHP continued to search for Jarvis, who is described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 180 pounds, with short blonde hair and blue eyes.

The CHP said he also goes by the names of Anthony Resh and Anthony Thornberg, and the nickname Yoda.

Anyone with information on Jarvis' whereabouts should call the CHP Clear Lake Area office, 707-279-0103.
