Driver arrested after fleeing from police at 115 mph, crashing through Roseville golf course

A driver suspected of being under the influence crashed through a golf course in Roseville at the end of a high-speed chase last week before being arrested by deputies.

According to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, the driver was stopped by a deputy in rural Lincoln just after 2 a.m. Aug. 18. The driver gave the deputy a driver’s license that wasn’t his. When the deputy asked the driver to step out of the vehicle, he sped away, deputies said.

Deputies pursued the suspect vehicle as it reached speeds of 115 mph; authorities say the driver ran multiple stop signs, avoided a spike strip and drove the wrong way on Fiddyment Road before crashing through a fence and driving onto the 9-hole Sierra Pines course at Timber Creek Golf Course in the Sun City section of Roseville.

“After damaging multiple fences around the golf course, the suspect eventually came to a stop but then led deputies on a short foot pursuit before being apprehended,” deputies said in a news release posted on Facebook.

The driver was identified as Chris Scott Allen, 47, of Orland. He was arrested on suspicion of evading a peace officer, obstruction, providing false identification, driving under the influence and multiple felony warrants. Allen is also being held for a probation violation from another agency.

Allen was taken to South Placer Jail, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Angela Musallam. Jail records show Allen remains in custody and is ineligible for bail. Allen was arraigned Monday, according to court records, where he entered a not-guilty plea. He will return to court on Monday.
