The two officers, who had been driving west on Rohnert Park Expressway near Labath Avenue, stopped their patrol car, exited the vehicle and ordered everyone -- the victim and suspects -- to the ground. According to the CHP, the victim sat down but the two suspects fled on foot northbound.
Several nearby CHP officers pursued the suspects, one of whom, a 17-year-old male from Santa Rosa, was apprehended in Sonoma Valley Bagel.
