 Amador County – An intoxicated driver led Amador CHP officers in a dangerous high speed pursuit late Wednesday, involving law enforcement from three counties and two states. At approximately 9:45pm, CHP officers too evasive action to avoid colliding with the driver of a red pickup who was entering Highway 88 from the Silver Lake recreation area. A pursuit eastward on Highway 88 immediately ensued between the subject vehicle and CHP officers. According to official reports, the subject vehicle drove recklessly and without regard to other motorists, sometimes exceeding 100 miles per hour. As the suspect passed Kirkwood Resort and entered Alpine County, Alpine Sheriff Deputies and CHP units joined the pursuit. The chase continued into Douglas County, Nevada, where reports say the subject intentionally rammed a Nevada Sheriff Deputy. The gathering storm of law enforcement immediately converged on the location. The subject vehemently resisted arrest but was taken into custody. The suspect was identified as Marc George Dubois of Redwood City, California. He now faces numerous felony charges in three different counties, including felony evasion of law enforcement, driving under the influence of narcotics, drug possession, assault with a deadly weapon utilizing a vehicle, and driving with an expired license. The vehicle he was driving was registered in Gardnerville, Nevada. There were no injuries to officers or civilians. Story by Alex Lane
