LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Lakeport man who attempted to outrun law enforcement in a Tuesday night high speed chase is facing several felony charges, including car theft, evading officers and driving under the influence.

Jason Christopher Agustinovich, 36, was booked into the Lake County Jail early Wednesday morning, according to jail records.

Agustinovich led law enforcement on a high speed chase in which he was driving at around 120 miles per hour, according to radio reports Tuesday night.

However, the chase ended shortly before 11:30 p.m. after Agustinovich lost control of the vehicle – described as a 1995 Mitsubishi – and crashed at 3600 Hill Road at Park Way, in front of Lakeport Fire Protection District Station 52, as Lake County News has reported.

While radio traffic indicated that Agustinovich was first pursued by Lake County Sheriff’s deputies, the California Highway Patrol joined the chase, with Officer Dan Frederick taking Agustinovich into custody just before 11:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Agustinovich was booked on felony charges of vehicle theft, evading a peace officer and possessing stolen property, and misdemeanors of driving under the influence and driving while on a suspended license.

His bail was set at $35,000. Jail records indicated he later posted bail and was released.

Agustinovich’s booking records indicate he is due to appear in court on Thursday, Dec. 1.
