Colton PD IN GT.... Thank Goodness...

GRAND TERRACEMan in car chase stunned with Taser
A man who led deputies on a chase through Grand Terrace, parts of Riverside County, Rialto and Colton had to be stunned with a Taser in order to be taken into custody, officials said.
Eric Devon Brown, 32, of Highland was spotted Wednesday speeding southbound on La Cadena Drive by a deputy who tried to pull him over, sheriff's officials said.
Brown kept going and drove across the center divider, causing his right front tire to blow out, officials said.
Deputies pursued Brown at speeds up to 75 mph onto northbound Main Street in Riverside County. Brown ran several red lights and stop signs until he rear-ended a tractor-trailer stopped for traffic on the northbound Riverside Avenue overpass of Interstate 10 in Rialto, officials said.
Brown fought with deputies who ordered him to exit his vehicle, officials said. To subdue him, Colton police officers used a Taser on him, officials said.
The truck driver and Brown were not injured. Brown was booked at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
