Folsom Police catch speeder who twice eluded them

An El Dorado Hills man is in jail after finding out that you can’t run from the law.  19 year old David Treece of El Dorado Hills was arrested on Wednesday after the investigative efforts of the Folsom Police department led them to his home.

Earlier this month Folsom Police believe that Treece twice eluded them when high speed pursuits were called off for safety reasons. On March 16th, a Folsom Police Officer was working traffic enforcement along Empire Ranch Road when he saw a white Nissan 350Z speeding and tried to stop the vehicle.  The driver of that vehicle did not stop and sped away. The pursuit was called off.

On March 18, 2017, another officer saw a similar vehicle speeding in the Empire Ranch area and tried to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle again fled from officers and evaded them by driving recklessly and speeding.  Again, Officers discontinued the pursuit for safety reasons.  Both officers had gathered information during their pursuit about the vehicle and driver.

Detectives from the Special Investigations Unit began a search for the vehicle and eventually tracked the vehicle to an address in El Dorado Hills.  On 3/28/17, they found Treece and arrested him after a short foot pursuit.  Based on evidence the detectives found, they believe Treece is the driver in both pursuits.  Treece was booked into the Sacramento County jail for two felony violations of evading a police officer in a reckless manner, driving with a suspended driver’s license and resisting a police officer.  His bail was set at $50,000.
