Man Arrested After High-Speed Pursuit 

November 6, 2025 – Sacramento County Sheriff's Office officials report that at around 2:00 A.M. this on Wednesday morning, North Patrol Deputies attempted to pull over a vehicle for speeding and multiple traffic violations near Watt Avenue and Don Julio Boulevard.

Instead of stopping, the driver, 57-year-old Kenneth Earl Steinberger, took off and led Deputies on a high-speed pursuit that reached speeds of over 100 mph on the freeway.

Deputies successfully deployed a tire deflation device (tack strip), bringing the chase to an end. Steinberger was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.

His booking photo cannot be released per California law.
