By KAREN VELIE

Arroyo Grande police arrested an 18-year-old city resident following a high-speed chase on Friday night.

Shortly before 10 p.m., an officer attempted to pull over a recklessly driven car. After giving a false name, the driver fled at a high-rate of speed.

During the pursuit, the driver stopped his vehicle several times. Officers ordered him to open his door and get out of the vehicle, but he drove away.

After several attempts, officers ultimately stopped the vehicle and arrested the driver, Jesse Ray Sights of Arroyo Grande. He was charged with reckless driving, drunk driving and for giving a false identification. He remains in the San Luis Obispo County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Not with the way things currently are in CA, but hopefully November’s election will begin to change things.

Its a miracle this teenager didn’t injure kill himself or other people.


Unfortunately, too many have gotten the make believe chases shown in Hollywood movies confused with real life.


In the real world, the odds of escaping the police by fleeing is slim to none.

“Jessie Ray”, that kind of puts everything into white trash context.

Someone should have told him that he needs an NFL contract to get away with that.
