A man accused of stealing a Tesla and leading police on two chases in and near Santa Rosa is due in court tomorrow. Police say 24-year-old Jordan McGetchin stole a Tesla parked in front of the owner’s home on Carr Avenue early Sunday morning. Santa Rosa police officers found the Tesla, but McGetchin took off, eventually hitting speeds of more than 100-miles-per-hour in residential areas. Police called off the chase due to safety concerns. Sonoma County Sheriff’s deputies spotted the Tesla a short time later and tried to pull it over, but McGetchin took off a second time. That chase didn’t last long, after McGetchin crashed into a fence on a residential property on Fulton Road just south of River Road. He was arrested and was not injured in the crash.
