In Oakland Wednesday night, a man and woman from Humboldt allegedly rammed a cop car with a stolen pickup truck, breaking an officer’s arm before leading law enforcement on a long car chase that ended with a crash, a foot pursuit and a standoff, according to the East Bay Times.
The chase, which included an Oakland police helicopter, stretched from Oakland through San Leandro, Castro Valley and Hayward before the pickup crashed into two parked cars in Berkeley, the report states. It also notes, “Police recovered a loaded pistol the suspects tried to ditch in a Berkeley business and also found rifle ammunition in the truck.”
While the suspects haven’t officially been identified, the East Bay Times reports that Anthony Adams, 30, and Karina Provino, 22, were booked into a local jail Thursday morning “after their arrests on a range of charges, including assault on a police officer, evading a police officer with reckless disregard, assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and carrying a loaded firearm.”
