Pinal County police chase leads to arrest of 3
Authorities arrested three people after a routine traffic stop turned into a chase near Interstate 8.
A Pinal County Sheriff's deputy spotted the 2002 Chevrolet Malibu near I-8 and Standfield Road on Wednesday as the car traveled above the posted 50 mph speed limit, spokesman Tim Gaffney said.
When the deputy flagged down the car for the traffic stop, the vehicle accelerated and drove 75 mph through the Standfield Elementary school zone, Gaffney said.
Then the vehicle ran at a stop sign at Highway 84, but stopped abruptly after turning onto Apache Drive, Gaffney said. Two men jumped from the backseat of the car and ran into a nearby neighborhood.
Although deputies were not able to find the two men, three others in the car were arrested.
The passenger who remained in the backseat, 35-year-old Humberto Garcia, admitted to deputies he was a Mexico citizen in the United States illegally, according to Gaffney.
Gaffney said Garcia smelled strongly of marijuana. During a search, Gaffney said a baggie of the drug was found inside Garcia's pants. Garcia was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession.
Authorities arrested driver Justin Lawrence Davis and his girlfriend, Rachelle N. Campos, both 20-year-olds from Casa Grande, on suspicion of human smuggling. Davis is expected to face an additional charge of felony flight, Gaffney said.
