SUMMARY: On Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at approximately 1:38 p.m., deputies from the Victorville Station located a 1998 Honda sedan that was reported stolen out of Cabazon, parked in the Walmart parking lot.
Deputies observed a male suspect, later identified as Raezahntae Edward Baird, enter the front driver seat of the stolen vehicle. Deputies attempted a traffic stop but Baird failed to yield, and a pursuit ensued. During the pursuit, Baird drove on the opposite side of the road, into oncoming traffic, failed to stop at several red lights, and drove at a high-rate of speed in residential areas, leading deputies on an approximate 9-mile pursuit. A pursuit intervention technique maneuver was conducted, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. Baird was detained moments later.
Baird is currently on felony probation for a prior conviction for possession of a stolen vehicle out of Riverside County. Baird was arrested and booked at the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto, for V.C 2800.2(A)- Felony Reckless Evading, and PC 496D(A)- Possession of a Stolen Vehicle
