Investigators say 56-year-old Eric Van Gelder was arrested and will be charged with driving under the influence of drugs and resisting arrest.
The CHP says Van Gelder drove around a road closure then took officers on a chase. When they caught up to the car, Van Gelder refused to get out. They say SWAT officers used non-lethal options to remove him.
