A Dayton man who led Carson City authorities on a chase through city residential streets faces multiple charges including attempted murder on a police officer.
John Michael Foster, 46, is being held in Carson City jail on four felony and four misdemeanor charges. Bail is in the amount of $158,028.
The chase went through north and west Carson City and ended on Mountain and Winnie streets with a deputy being injured when Foster smashed into a patrol car. The deputy sustained injuries and had to be transported to the hospital.
The pursuit ranged from speeds of 35 to 60 and went through several residential neighborhoods. It began as a dispute at the Carson Nugget when threats were made to security there, with the suspect reportedly hitting machines before he left, according to a police report.
The patrol deputy began to trail the suspect's vehicle and that's when the chase began.
