State police were pursuing a blue Subaru station wagon reported stolen on U.S. Highway 26 near milepost 18 on July 14 at 6:11 p.m when the Subaru increased speed and began driving recklessly in an attempt to elude police. For safety reasons, the pursuit was suspended. The car was located soon after unoccupied on U.S. Highway 6 near Timber Road. A person matching the description of the driver, later identified as Justin Emanuel Hill Sistrunk, 39, was seen walking eastbound. He was arrested and transported to the Clatsop County jail for eluding, driving with a suspended license, unauthorized use of a vehicle, reckless driving, and failure to report as a sex offender.

Reckless driving

A Texas man was arrested July 18 at 5:35 p.m., on U.S. Highway 26 at milepost 11 westbound. Cesar Kevin Santana, 27, from Houston, was pulled over for reckless driving at which time he showed signs of impairment and voluntarily agreed to take a standard field sobriety test. His poor performance on the test led to his arrest; a search of his vehicle turned up a loaded firearm under the driver’s seat. Santana’s breath sample indicated his impairment wasn’t alcohol related and he agreed to further testing and was found to be impaired by controlled substance. He was issued criminal citations and released.
