MARYSVILLE, Calif. — Yuba County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a man who fled from a traffic stop after chasing him throughout the city of Marysville, Saturday.

According to officials, Michael Williams from Chico, was driving a stolen Ford F-150 and initially yielded for the stop but sped away, initiating a pursuit throughout the city.

Williams allegedly rammed a patrol vehicle on the driver’s side causing damage to the vehicle and injuring a deputy, according to officials. The injured deputy has since been released from the hospital.
