He sustained injuries to his hand as a result of climbing over a barbed wire fence. He was treated for his injuries at the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
During the investigation, it was discovered that Konikow was responsible for the theft of the vehicle. Suspected narcotics were found inside the vehicle. Konikow was booked into the West Valley Detention Center for VC 10851(a), vehicle theft and a violation of his probation. Reichtell was booked into the Central Detention Center for PC 496D(a), possession of a stolen vehicle.
