Domestic Violence Suspect Attempts Getaway In San Jacinto

SAN JACINTO, CA — A man with a domestic violence restraining order against him was arrested this week in San Jacinto after violating the order and attempting to flee from deputies, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department reported.

Chance Morris, 33, was taken into custody around 4:35 p.m. Wednesday in the area of Garrett Way and Arroyo Viejo Drive after he led a chase that lasted about three hours.

Deputies with the San Jacinto station received a call about Morris around 1:30 p.m. that day after he showed up at a home in the 1800 block of Browning Court, despite an active domestic violence court order barring him from being at the residence, according to the sheriff's department.

When Morris refused to leave the home, deputies attempted to arrest, him but he got away and took off running, jumping over fences into nearby back yards, the department reported.

As the chase continued, Morris jumped onto the roof of a two-story home in the 800 block of Garrett Way. He stayed up there for "a few hours," and when he got down he tried to outrun deputies again, according to the sheriff's department.

Deputies finally tackled Morris on a residential front lawn and handcuffed him. He was dusted up during the incident and taken to a nearby hospital, the department said.

As of Friday morning, Morris remained jailed at Robert Presley Detention Center on suspicion of violating the restraining order, resisting arrest, violating probation, and making criminal threats, jail records showed.

He was being held in lieu of a $100,000 bond and was due to appear in court Friday.
