A Penn Valley man ended up in custody in Yuba County after he fled from law enforcement in a stolen vehicle, authorities said.
Michael Sauer, 33, was arrested on suspicion of auto theft, felony evasion and resisting arrest. He was booked into the Yuba County Jail on those charges as well as for an Auburn vehicle theft warrant, and was being held Tuesday on $25,000 bail, a press release from the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office stated.
A Yuba County K9 deputy patrolling Plumas Lake spotted the stolen vehicle around 5:45 p.m. Monday and tried to stop the vehicle. The driver and sole occupant, later identified as Sauer, failed to yield and sped away toward a levee, where he crashed through a levee gate and into a cement barrier, the release said.

The circumstances surrounding the Monday death of a Grass Valley man during an incident involving Yuba County law enforcement remain under investigation.
An autopsy was conducted Thursday for William Hennefer, 37, but an official cause of death remains undetermined pending toxicology results, said Leslie Carbah, spokeswoman for the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office had responded to an area off Highway 20 near Browns Valley shortly after 1 p.m. Monday for reports of a suspicious man in a vehicle, Carbah said.
The man, later identified as Hennefer, refused to exit his vehicle and was acting erratically when law enforcement made contact with him, Carbah said Thursday.
