REDMOND, OR -- A man from Wood Village faces numerous charges in Deschutes County, following a Tuesday evening car chase. A deputy spotted a stolen vehicle near the Redmond Home Depot and attempted to pull it over, but the driver took off. Redmond Police Officers, and other Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area to assist.

The suspect continued to elude law enforcement until he abandoned the stolen vehicle in the area of Veterans Way and ran off. Deputies ultimately found the driver hiding in bushes across Highway 97 from the abandoned stolen vehicle.

The driver, identified as 32-year-old Trevor Petricevic, was arrested and taken to St. Charles Redmond for evaluation after he advised deputies he'd ingested around 75 Fentanyl pills. Petricevic was medically cleared at the hospital and transported to the Deschutes County Jail. In addition to charges related to the chase, Petricevic is suspected in numerous vehicle thefts. He also had an outstanding warrant from Clackamas County.
