A San Bernardino County man was arrested for allegedly driving an off-road vehicle through an intersection full of children.
The suspect was identified as Jacob Vidana-Delgado, 19, from Adelanto, according to the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station.
On Friday night, a deputy witnessed the suspect driving a Polaris off-road vehicle near the intersection of Mojave and Alexandria Streets in Adelanto at around 5:30 p.m.
Authorities said Vidana-Delgado was traveling at high speeds when he drove into the crowded intersection that was filled with children at the time.
Deputies attempted to pull the man over but he refused to yield, leading authorities on a pursuit.
During the chase, Vidana-Delgado accelerated, drove at unsafe speeds with disregard for public safety, and failed to stop at controlled intersections, officials said.
The 19-year-old eventually drove back home as deputies followed closely behind. They took him into custody at the residence without further incident.
He was arrested for evading a peace officer with disregard for public safety and reckless driving on a highway. The Polaris was also towed from the property.
No injuries were reported following the incident. The case remains under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call Deputy M. Lewis at the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station at 760-552-6800.
