A Lake County Sheriff’s deputy patrolling the Clearlake Oaks area attempted to stop a vehicle driven by Jimmy Dale Scarborough of Clearlake Monday. Scarborough refused to stop, leading the deputy on a chase through a residential neighborhood with speeds topping 40 MPH, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Scarborough eventually stopped and exited his vehicle but refused to get on the ground, so the deputy’s K-9 was deployed and brought Scarborough to the ground after he again tried to flee the scene.

Scarborough, who was on parole for manufacturing narcotics, was arrested and booked into Hill Road Correctional Facility on charges of felony evasion of a peace officer, resisting arrest and felony violation of parole.
