According to a report from the Healdsburg Police Department, on June 13, at 12:22 a.m., Healdsburg Police Officer Craig Smith pulled a Dodge Avenger over on northbound Highway 101 at the Dry Creek Road off ramp for travelling at an excessive rate of speed.
The vehicle initially yielded, according to the report, then drove back onto the northbound Highway 101 on ramp. Officer Smith initiated a pursuit of the fleeing vehicle and was soon joined by officers Nick Doherty and Sergeant Luis Rodriguez. As the pursuit continued northbound on Highway 101 the suspect vehicle reached speeds of approximately 90 miles per hour. As it approached a construction zone in the area of Geyserville, the vehicle was forced to slow down due to construction activity.
The report states the vehicle continued northbound, then came to a stop in the median of Highway 101 north of Canyon Road. The suspect fled the vehicle on foot. Officers gave chase and took 18-year-old Fabian Anthony Flores Gonzalez of Healdsburg into custody after a brief struggle.
After his arrest Flores Gonzalez was found to be in possession of a loaded, short-barreled rifle and handgun. During a search of his vehicle, several pounds of marijuana, psilocybin and cash were located, according to the statement from HPD.
Flores Gonzalez was booked at Sonoma County Jail on charges including possession of an illegal assault weapon, possession of a concealed firearm, transportation of drugs and evading police officers.
