Samuel Sosa, 24, initially stopped the stolen 2010 Lincoln MKX at the highway on-ramp from Main Street near Chief Fire Equipment & Service around 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 18, following a hit-and-run on Avenue E, Lodi Police Sgt. Dominic Miller said.
Sosa then hit the gas, however, fleeing onto westbound Route 46, the sergeant said.
The SUV, reported stolen out of New York City, hit two utility poles outside the Pleasure Plus adult video store just past the 6th Street overpass and came to a stop in the corner of the parking lot, he said.
Sosa sustained minor injuries and was arrested, Miller said.
Police charged him with resisting arrest and receiving stolen property, then sent him to the county jail after discovering a traffic warrant out of Clifton.
On Tuesday, U.S. Marshals placed a hold on Sosa so he can be brought into federal court for violating the terms of a pre-trial release in connection with an unspecified case in the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, records show.
Sosa will remain held in the county lockup while awaiting extradition proceedings.
