Police Chase Ends in Collision; Leads to Meth Arrests

Two people were arrested in Livermore after leading a California Highway Patrol officer in a pursuit.

Two people were arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine after leading police in a vehicle pursuit that ended with a collision on East Airway Boulevard, said California Highway Patrol Officer Steve Creel.

The pursuit began at 1:10 a.m. Saturday when a CHP patrol officer checked a plate on a Suzuki motorcycle traveling on Airway Boulevard. The plate came back registered to a Harley Davidson motorcycle and the officer attempted to stop the motorcycle — driven by a man with a woman passenger.

The driver, later identified as Daniel Jennings of Livermore, sped away in excess of 60 miles per hour and headed onto Kitty Hawk Road, Creel said.

Jennings, 38, continued onto Isabel Avenue and appeared to slow down to make a left turn, but veered back to his right. The officer in pursuit was unable to slow down in time and rear-ended the motorcycle, ejecting Jennings and his passenger — later identified as Anne Jennings, 36, of Pleasanton.

The two were transported to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley and treated for minor injuries. The officer was not injured.

After they were released from the hospital, both suspects were found to be in possession of methamphetamine and arrested, Creel said.

Daniel Jennings is being held in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin in lieu of $95,000 bail. He also faces charges for evading a police officer and is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. today in Department 701 of the Gale-Schenone Hall of Justice in Pleasanton.

There are no county inmate records available for Anne Jennings and it is unclear if she faces any charges.
