Press Release
Details: On January 11, 2020, at approximately 10:23 pm, Corcoran Police Officers conducted a traffic stop in the 1800 block of Dairy Avenue for an observed traffic violation. The vehicle slowed and one subject fled on foot. The vehicle then accelerated away in an attempt to evade the officer. As the vehicle fled, three other subjects exited the vehicle at different locations in the city. The suspect vehicle intentionally struck an occupied Corcoran Police Department patrol vehicle twice while evading. The vehicle ultimately became disabled in the area of Business Park and Otis Avenue. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Ty’jion Green. Several of the passengers who fled from the vehicle during the pursuit were located by Corcoran Police Officers. The passengers that were located ranged in age from 15 years old to 22 years old and some of them indicated they were telling Green to stop, but he refused, which is why they decided to jump from the vehicle. Green was arrested and later booked into the Kings County Jail for violating California Vehicle Code Section 2800.2- felony evading, 20002(a)(1)- hit and run, 12500(a)- unlicensed driver, California Penal Code Section 245(a)(1)- assault with a deadly weapon, 272- contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and 594(b)(1)- vandalism greater than $400.
