At 3 pm, a citizen near the Forestville Club waved down an officer patrolling the Forestville area, a town west of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County.

The officer located the van and the driver stopped on the shoulder in front of Russian River Vineyards. The officer found signs of intoxication and began a DUI evaluation.
A records check revealed that the suspect was driving on a suspended license because of a previous DUI. He also had multiple convictions for driving without a license and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The suspect was identified as 51-year-old Roger Robertson of Yuba City. Robertson was booked on the warrant and charges of DUI while driving on a suspended license.
A crash in this area led to a chase and arrest of a young woman and the injury of her passenger.
At 7 pm, officers responded to a call of a vehicle crashing into a house on Dutton Avenue near Southwood Avenue in central Santa Rosa. It was reported that the driver was attempting to flee the scene on foot. The suspect was found running down Dutton Avenue and officers immediately detained her.
