The incident began when OnStar alerted Fowler Police that a stolen Chevrolet pickup truck was near Adams and Temperance avenues in Fowler.
A sheriff’s deputy located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but Rollins fled, reaching speeds of up to 90 mph and running stop signs. The deputy halted the pursuit and called for aerial support.

OnStar remotely disabled the vehicle, slowing it to about 5 mph. Rollins exited Highway 180 at Clovis Avenue, where he made an illegal turn that caused traffic delays.
Deputies and California Highway Patrol officers boxed in the truck to prevent further movement.
