S. Tahoe resident still not able to evade officers
By Kathryn Reed
Apparently Christopher Wadstein has a penchant for driving fast and trying to avoid the police.
Again, he was caught.
This time the 23-year-old South Lake Tahoe resident was booked into jail May 2 about 7pm.
Officers said they tried to stop Wadstein about 5:40pm on Glenwood Way. The suspect allegedly took off at a high-rate of speed. Officers said speeds hit 70 mph at times.
The Jeep Cherokee that Wadstein was seen driving was located about 30 minutes later near Pine Hill and Timber Lane. The suspect was found in a storage shed on Timber Lane.
Officers said they also confiscated two handguns.
Wadstein faces charges of felony evading a police officer and a felon in possession of firearms.
In June 2010, Wadstein was arrested after a chase that reached 80 mph through town and resulted in his Ford Mustang GT going airborne into the Upper Truckee Marsh at the end of Creekwood Drive.
A couple months later he pleaded guilty in the case and faced prison time. It is not known how long Wadstein has been back in town.
woo what a winner — must give him credit and write an article about his stupidity.
In the linked article, it says the guy was 21 when he wrecked his mustang and went to Barton. To me he looked like he was in his late 30′ to early 40’s, I wonder what would cause someone to look so aged, and have such erratic behavior?
Lock him up, and save his life!
