California motor home chase ends in escape

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (KGET/NBC News) – California authorities are searching for a convicted sex offender who led officers on a bizarre motor home chase Tuesday.

At a press conference Wednesday Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said their investigation began as a domestic violence call out of Santa Clarita Tuesday morning involving parolee Stephen Houk, 46.
