The California Highway Patrol used their helicopters, H-14, to track Eaquaville’s location throughout the chase, according to the SCSO.
The pursuit came to an end when the SCSO said Esquaville’s vehicle became disabled on a ranch near McAuliffe Road and Bland Road. They said he was taken into custody without further incident.
