An Oakland man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly stealing dirt bikes from a dealership in Santa Rosa and then leading an officer on a pursuit onto U.S. Highway 101, police said.
Michael Cisneros, 22, was arrested after an officer at about 2:55 a.m. Sunday noticed a white van backed up to a large window of the Factory Powersports dealership at 55 College Ave., according to Santa Rosa police.As the officer moved closer to the business, the driver of the van later identified as Cisneros sped away and the officer turned on his emergency lights and tried to pull it over, but the van did not stop and went onto southbound Highway 101, police said.
The officer saw the van's rear doors had not been fully closed and he could see two dirt bikes stacked on top of each other in the cargo area of the vehicle. Cisneros eventually exited the highway at Golf Course Drive in Rohnert Park and pulled over, then was taken into custody without incident. No one else was in the van, according to police.
