BAKER COUNTY — Baker City Police Department officers deployed a spike strip Wednesday evening, April 28, to stop a car that led Oregon State Police troopers on a high-speed chase along Interstate 84.

Clayton Ted Snell, 36, of Sandy, Utah, was arrested on multiple charges, including driving under the influence of intoxicants, fleeing in a vehicle and on foot and reckless driving.

Around 7:07 p.m. on Wednesday, OSP notified the Baker County Dispatch Center about a pursuit in the westbound lanes of I-84. Due to excessive speeds, OSP troopers stopped the chase, according to a press release from the Baker County Sheriff’s Office.

Shortly after the call, Baker City police found the vehicle leaving the freeway and heading east on Highway 86 toward Richland. As officers followed the car, it made a U-turn. Police set up the spike strip, which flattened the car’s tires.

Snell then tried to flee on foot, according to police, but after a brief chase, Baker County sheriff’s deputies caught and arrested him. Snell was taken to the Baker County Jail.
