Alexander Reyes
A San Bruno parolee will serve more than five years behind bars for a high-speed car chase during which he injured a sheriff’s deputy by running into a patrol car.
Alexander Reyes, 24, was sentenced Thursday to five years and four months after pleading no contest in August to several felonies including evading and assaulting a police officer, according to prosecutors.
The March 10 crime began when Reyes was approached by deputies while parked at Cañada College with two females in his SUV. Reyes accelerated his car in reverse hitting a patrol car, then drove at the first deputy who drew their weapon but jumped out of the way. Reyes then drove more than 100 mph along Interstate 280 before exiting at San Bruno Avenue and striking another patrol car head on, according to prosecutors.
Reyes struck five parked cars and a city pole before a wheel to his car fell off and his vehicle came to a stop. All three occupants fled, including Reyes and Redwood City residents Myra Ochoa and Breiza Sandoval, according to prosecutors.
Deputies chased them down, arrested them and found methamphetamine in the vehicle, according to prosecutors.
Reyes apologized to the court Thursday before he was ordered to pay $23,000 in restitution and given 505 days credit for time served. At the time of his crime, he was on parole for a 2014 felony evading charge, according to prosecutors.
