Chaos briefly reigned on the streets of Cabazon yesterday afternoon when a traffic stop escalated into a full-blown pursuit. According to details released by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, the incident began at 4:55 p.m. when deputies attempted a routine traffic stop on a white 2003 Ford pick-up at the junction of Main and Fern. The driver, now identified as 46-year-old Trevor Alexander Berry of Coachella, opted instead to flee at a dangerous clip, prompting deputies to give chase.
The high-speed chase found its way onto the I-10, with Berry leading law enforcement on a breakneck odyssey heading eastbound, before veering onto Highway 111 toward Palm Springs, where the pursuit concluded at the 1100 block of North Indian Canyon Drive, the vehicle and its driver couched within the grasp of the law. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office stated that Berry was arrested without further drama.
For his flight from the mundane to the wanted list, Berry now faces a slew of charges, including felony evading, reckless driving, and is additionally ensnared by outstanding arrest warrants. The aftermath of his failed escape saw him booked into Smith Correctional Facility, the details of Berry's charges laid bare, as is the offer from law enforcement for anyone with knowledge to step forward. They seek the threads that might be woven into the fuller narrative of this incident. Deputy Browen stands as the point of contact at the Cabazon Sheriff Station, reachable by the disclosed venue of telecommunications, reachable at 951-922-7100.
