DUI suspect leads police through field

An impaired driver attempted to outrun police early Monday morning by driving through a fence and through a field before trying to run away on foot, according to police reports. About 2:17 a.m. Monday a motorist reported the possible DUI, police said. The suspected impaired driver was traveling at a “high rate of speed” southbound on U.S. 101, just past the Cochrane Road exit. He was driving a white GMC pickup. Officers located the vehicle on the freeway and began following it, according to police reports. The suspect got off the freeway at San Martin Avenue, and turned west onto that road. The suspect ran a red light at Monterey Road, and continued driving through a dead end on San Martin Avenue, police said. The vehicle apparently crashed through a fence at the end of the street and was located in a nearby field. When officers approached the vehicle, nobody was inside, police said. The driver, Casey Riland, 44, was eventually found within walking distance of the vehicle, police said. Riland was arrested and booked on suspicion of DUI and refusing to comply with a traffic officer.
