(TANGENT) - Linn County deputies arrested a 24-year-old Gresham man after a high-speed chase Monday.
They later found that the man is wanted on a homicide charge in California.
Sheriff Tim Mueller says 24-year-old Alejandro Guzman was found hiding in some woods after he abandoned his car.
A Linn County deputy tried to stop Guzman`s car in the town of Tangent south of Albany when the chase started. The Corvallis police department also joined in the chase Mueller said.
Guzman let a woman and a 4-year-old child out of the car before coming to a dead end on a county road.
Deputies found out later that Guzman had several warrants against him in California.
The car Guzman was driving had been reported stolen last week in Hayward, California.
