October 11, 2024 – Placer County Sheriff’s Office officials report that on August 21st, 2024, a Placer County Sheriff’s Office deputy spotted a car with expired registration on Athens Avenue near Industrial Avenue. Instead of pulling over, the driver sped off leading to a pursuit. During the chase the driver crossed into oncoming traffic, ran red lights and stop signs, before getting onto Highway 65.

He jumped over the center divider and ran across oncoming lanes of traffic. A City of Roseville, California Police Department Officer was in position to chase the suspect. Ultimately, the suspect, 21-year-old Edgar Delgadillo, surrendered outside the TownePlace Suites near Blue Oaks Boulevard and Fairway Drive.
