He was on that bicycle early Friday when he became part of what would turn out to be the pursuit of a stolen vehicle by Woodland police. That incident began in Sacramento around 10:14 p. m. , Thursday, when West Sacramento resident Rene Muinos called the West Sac police to report his 1999 Mazda 626 as stolen. Around 2:14 a. m. , Friday, a Woodland police officer responded to a hit-and-run traffic collision where a vehicle had struck a bicyclist, who turned out to be Giebel, near the intersection of West and West Cross streets. As Giebel received medical aid, other police pursued the vehicle — soon identified as the one stolen from West Sacramento — to Clanton Avenue and Cleveland Street, where the driver hit a parked vehicle and disabled his own. Four people, two males and two females, fled from the Mazda in different directions. But police were only able to identify the 15-year-old suspect of the stolen Mazda and the possible felony hit and run. Source: www.dailydemocrat.com
