The Detectives attempted to use uniformed Patrol Officers to contact and arrest Griffin, however

he fled from the contact and led the Patrol Officers on a short vehicle pursuit. Griffin caused a vehicle collision on Delta Fair Boulevard at Fairview Drive, near Somersville Road.

Griffin and the driver of the vehicle that he collided with were both evaluated for injuries at a local hospital as a precaution due to the collision. Griffin was released from the hospital and was

eventually transported to the Martinez County Detention Facility.
