Arcata man leads police on chase from Eureka to Mendocino

ANGRY THIS MAN HAS KEYS wrote:

This man is dangerous.....he has had his license removed by DMV, several arrests and citations, and flipped a commercial vehicle at Clam Beach. All this has occured in the last few months. Richard continues to put the public at risk with no regard for safety. He is arrogent and believes he is above the public laws. He has caused major driving violations putting innocent people at great risk of injury and death, yet he continues to get behind the wheel of his cars.
I urge all public members who value their lives and their loved ones lives to contact the District Attorney and request immediate and severe prosecution or we will be asking WHY? when we pick up the paper and see Richard has killed an innocent by-standered.

I see the truth of it wrote:

I'm sure this man will be let go, you see, he has a medical condition that requres alcohol consumption to "ease his pain", he has a prescription from a doctor.
Why not, works for the 215 stoners?

This man caused an accident at Weott. He hit the car my daughter was riding in (as he swerved to miss the spike strip). I hope he will never drive again. It is a miracle that he did not rear-end the car of teenage girls, he only swiped the front of the car.

I saw this chase... or at least about 30 seconds of it and I'm totally surprised that a 70 y/o was the driver of the car. I hope they do more than slap this moron on the wrist... Being in Lane 1 at the top of the hill coming up to the Lolita exit and with a pickup towing a travel trailer exiting the slow lane into Lane 2, it could have been really ugly if I had not seen these idiots coming and slowed down to let them pass. And yes, my insult is for the Eureka cop in pursuit, too... Why in the HELL wasn't he using his siren?
It's a good thing I have a habit of checking my rear view mirrors every minute or so.
And where was the CHP? Getting their morning donuts at Starbucks?
