A California parole violator was arrested by county and state officers after a high-speed chase on Interstate 80 May 31.
Sweetwater County Sheriff Rich Haskell said Sergeant Dave Johnson of the Sheriff’s Office stopped Tuan Nguyen, 29, of San Jose California at about 8:00 AM on the 31st when he observed him driving erratically on Interstate 80 several miles west of Green River. During the stop, Johnson determined Nguyen to be a convicted burglar and parole violator out of Santa Clara County, California.
When a backup unit arrived, Nguyen fled west on Interstate 80 with deputies and state troopers in pursuit.
The chase ended in Uinta County near mile marker 46 on Interstate 80 when authorities deployed road spikes, which disabled Nguyen’s vehicle. At that point he was taken into custody and transported to the Sweetwater County Detention Center in Rock Springs.
Haskell said his agency is working with officials in Santa Clara County to return Nguyen to California.
No one was injured during the course of the incident.
