LUCERNE VALLEY, Calif. (VVNG.com) — After attempting to flee from deputies during a traffic stop, 27-year-old Devin Williams was arrested with the help of CHP Aviation.

On November 4, 2023, at about 10:30 pm, Deputy Konior with the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station attempted to pull over a Ford Explorer without license plates on State Highway 18, near Orchard Drive, in Lucerne Valley.

Officials said that although the vehicle initially yielded, it quickly fled at a high speed when Deputy Konior got out of his vehicle.

The vehicle headed north on Joshua Road and into the dry lakebed, where California Highway Patrol Helicopter H-80 was called in to assist.
