At 1:14 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers attempted to stop a van driven by David McNemar, 47, of California for a seat belt violation, three miles north of Yreka, Calif., on Interstate 5. McNemar failed to stop and continued north on I-5, law enforcement officials said. He was finally stopped at milepost 11, near Ashland, when an Oregon State Police trooper deployed a set of spike strips, which deflated a pair of the van's tires.
