December 3, 2023 - Amador County Sheriff's Office officials report that on December 1, 2023, at approximately 10:00 P.M., a Deputy was patrolling the area of Red Corral Road in Pioneer when he attempted to conduct a traffic enforcement stop.  The suspect vehicle immediately accelerated in an obvious attempt to evade and the Deputy initiated a vehicle pursuit.  The suspect led the Deputy on a pursuit spanning approximately 19 miles through Calaveras County, concluding only when the suspect’s vehicle ran out of gas in rural Mokelumne Hill.  The suspect attempted to flee on foot but the Deputy was able to take him into custody without incident. 

The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Jason Andahl of Angels Camp, who was found to be on CDCR Parole.  Andahl’s vehicle was towed and he was booked into the Amador County Sheriff's Office Jail.
