NORTH COAST, Calif. – The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said a Santa Rosa man who led a deputy on a pursuit that ended in the patrol car crashing into a Bodega Bay house on Sunday has been arrested.

Ryan Moore, 35, was taken into custody in the case, the agency reported.

The sheriff’s office reported that a Sonoma County Sheriff’s deputy assigned to work the Bodega Bay area has received at least five reports of thefts of generators from campgrounds in that community over the last two weeks.

Shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday the deputy parked an unmarked vehicle in the Doran Beach Campground and conducted surveillance for suspicious activity while two patrol deputies waited outside the area in marked patrol cars, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities said that at about 2:45 a.m. the deputy spotted a white sedan that entered the coastal campground and drove around, making suspicious movements like turning into roads with a locked gate, then backing out.

The driver parked at the end of the campground and the deputy spotted the driver exiting the vehicle and walking around the campground in dark clothing then return, then the passenger got out of the car in dark clothing then walked around the campground in dark clothing, according to the report.

At about 5 a.m. the deputy spotted a second vehicle enter the campground but he didn’t get a good look at it. The sheriff’s office said that shortly afterward the deputy observed the white sedan exit the campground.

Deputies waiting outside the campground in marked units saw a gray Honda Pilot pull out of the campground at about the same time and followed that vehicle, which turned out to be the second car the surveilling deputy had spotted, authorities said.

The deputies, believing the suspects in the Honda had just committed thefts in the campground, initiated a traffic stop after the Honda turned north onto Highway 1 in Bodega Bay. The sheriff’s office said the driver of the Honda failed to stop and led a deputy on a high speed pursuit northbound through Bodega Bay.

The deputy lost traction on a curve and went off the roadway and hit a home in the 600 block of Highway 1 in Bodega Bay. The sheriff’s office said the deputy’s patrol car was lodged in the front of the home but the deputy was able to get out of his car, exit the home and summon assistance.

The home the deputy crashed into was an Airbnb rental and was occupied by three sleeping tenants from San Francisco. They were awoken by the loud crash into their home but they weren’t injured, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities said the second patrol deputy was able to force the front door open and get them out as smoke enveloped under the patrol car and the home started to catch fire. Local fire departments responded to extinguish the fire and the tenants were put up at another local hotel.

At about 9 a.m. State Parks rangers found the Honda Pilot abandoned at a construction site in the 300 block of Bay Vista Lane in Bodega Bay. The report said Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office detectives responded and determined the Honda was stolen out of the Santa Cruz area.

Two portable generators believed to be stolen from the Doran Beach campground were located in the vehicle. The vehicle was processed for evidence and other leads were developed potentially identifying the driver that fled as Moore, according to the report.

Authorities said the detectives determined Moore lived in the 3900 block of Monet Place in Santa Rosa. Detectives conducted surveillance of his home and at about 3:30 p.m. they observed Moore leaving the area as a passenger in a 2015 Toyota Sienna van.

Detectives contacted the three occupants of the vehicle as they pulled into an industrial park off Coffey Lane in Santa Rosa and took them all into custody without incident, officials said.

The van was determined to be stolen out of the San Pablo area. Authorities said all the occupants were transported to the sheriff’s office to be interviewed. After the conclusion of the interviews it was determined Moore was the driver of the stolen Honda Pilot that led the deputy in a pursuit prior to the collision into the house in Bodega Bay.

Moore was booked into the Sonoma County Jail for charges to include reckless evading causing great bodily injury, willfully resisting a peace officer which caused serious bodily injury, possession of a stolen vehicle and violation of probation. Moore remains in custody and bail was set at $110,000, the sheriff’s office said.

The driver of the stolen Toyota minivan, Anthony Stone, 32, of Vallejo was arrested for vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle. The sheriff’s office said Stone’s bail was set at $10,000.

Angelica Cardiel, 31, of Santa Rosa was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. Authorities said she had a methamphetamine pipe located in her purse at the time she was detained. Cardiel was booked and then issued a citation to appear and released from custody.

The sheriff’s office said detectives are still investigating the case, determining who else might have been involved in the thefts and are trying to identify the owners of the likely stolen generators located in the Honda to return them.

The injured Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputy remains in a local hospital with serious injuries but is expected to make a full recovery. “We appreciate the community’s support and well wishes we have received,” the sheriff’s office said.
