CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake man was arrested early Sunday morning after leading a Clearlake Police officer and a sheriff's deputy on a high speed chase, reaching speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.
Arrested was Matthew William Bronsert, 41, according to the report from Clearlake Police Sgt. Tim Hobbs.
Hobbs reported that at 1:50 a.m. Sunday Clearlake Police Officer Travis Lenz – who had observed Bronsert driving at a high rate of speed on Lakeshore Drive near Old Highway 53 – attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Bronsert's 1986 Honda hatchback at the intersection of Highway 53 and Lakeshore Drive.
Hobbs said Bronsert failed to pull over and evaded Lenz for approximately 14 miles at times reaching speeds over 100 miles per hour.
Bronsert drove to Clearlake Oaks then returned to the city of Clearlake on Sulphur Bank Drive, then traveled through the Clearlake Park area and ended up driving into a field on Eastlake Drive Extension,
Hobbs said.
Hobbs said Bronsert then rammed his vehicle into a marked Lake County Sheriff’s Office Patrol vehicle, which had joined the pursuit at Country Club and 16th Street in Clearlake.
The deputy used the patrol vehicle to make a forcible stop of Bronsert’s vehicle and Bronsert was taken into custody, according to Hobbs.
Hobbs said that after he was medically treated, Bronsert was booked into the Lake County Jail for felony evading and assault with a deadly weapon against the Lake County Sheriff’s deputy, a misdemeanor bench warrant and misdemeanor driving with a suspended driver’s license.
Bail was set at $25,000, according to jail records. Bronsert remained in custody late Sunday.
The only passenger in the vehicle, Angelina Fayette Ketchum, 34, of Clearlake, had exited the vehicle at the intersection of Highway 53 and Highway 20 as Bronsert was driving towards Clearlake Oaks, Hobbs said.
Ketchum was later located and arrested for public intoxication while walking down Highway 53. Bail was set at $1,000. Jail records indicated she was released later on Sunday.
