A 19-year-old man suffered a broken leg and pelvis Saturday night after fleeing officers at Cal Expo, who said he was trying to gain access to the State Fair while carrying a loaded handgun.
Jeremy Wade was hit by a car on westbound Exposition Boulevard after fleeing Cal Expo police officers on foot, said Brian May, Cal Expo deputy general manager.
The incident occurred at about 10:45 p.m. when Wade allegedly tried to enter the fair parking lot after the entrance gates had closed for the day.
May said officers told the suspect to leave the grounds, but he repeatedly refused, then resisted the officers’ efforts to turn him away. He finally ran across Exposition Boulevard near Heritage Lane, with officers pursuing by bicycle.
When Wade was struck by a car on westbound Exposition Boulevard, a loaded Beretta 9mm semiautomatic handgun popped loose from his clothing, May said. Exposition Boulevard was closed for about 45 minutes while medics prepared Wade for transport to UC Davis Medical Center. May said Wade will be arrested on suspicion of trespassing, resisting arrest and carrying a concealed weapon.
