Men in Jail After Allegedly Ramming Police Cars

According to Oregon State Police, driver Frederick West and his passenger Joaquin Garcia rammed two police cars and crashed into the support beams of a home near Central Point late Saturday night.

Authorities said the pursuit started around 10:30pm near the area of Tolo and Blackwell Roads and Ventura Lane.

After hitting two police cars and the support structure of a home, police said they continued driving until they crashed on another property. They reportedly then took off on foot around Willow Spring Way and Tioga.

Police were able to eventually capture both of the suspects.

Authorities said the two have a track record of stealing vehicles and eluding police.

Both men remain behind bars at the Jackson County Jail on numerous charges.
