SUSPECT(S): Rodney Frazier-Goodson, 21-years-old, Resident of 29 Palms
VICTIM(S): Confidential
SUMMARY: On Sunday, July 26, 2026, at approximately 6:41 a.m., deputies from the Morongo Basin Station were alerted by an automated license plate reader that a stolen vehicle was in the area of State Route 62 and White Feather Road. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver, later identified as Rodney Frazier-Goodson, led the deputies on a high-speed pursuit.
During the pursuit, Frazier-Goodson slowed long enough to allow a victim to exit the vehicle. Frazier-Goodson repeatedly drove into opposing lanes of traffic, creating an immediate danger to the public. An intervention technique was used to end the pursuit. During the intervention Frazier-Goodson lost control of the vehicle and collided with a dirt embankment.
Frazier-Goodson was provided immediate medical care at the scene before being transported by air ambulance to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs for treatment. Once released from the hospital, he will be booked for vehicle theft, felony evading, and kidnapping.
The Sheriff's Specialized Investigations Division assumed the investigation, as required by department policy whenever a use of force results in significant injury.
