PRINEVILLE, Ore. - A Prineville police pursuit of a motorcycle that turned out to have been stolen led to a crash. The male rider then jumped into the bed of a pickup, leading to yet another pursuit. The man later jumped out and ran, leading to a manhunt and his capture in an RV - and the pickup driver crashed, bringing her arrest.

Here's how police said it all went down:

Shortly before noon, a Prineville Police officer tried pull over a motorcycle in the area of NE Laughlin Road. The rider, an adult male, refused to stop and fled from officers before turning into a driveway, where he lost control of the motorcycle and crashed.

Following the crash, the man jumped into the bed of a pickup truck driven by an adult female. She then fled from officers and at one point tried to hit an officer, police said

The pickup driver continued east on NE Laughlin Road to Ochoco Highway before turning onto NE Barnes Road. She then turned onto NE Barnes Butte Road and eventually NE Yellowpine Road.

"During the pursuit, the male began throwing tools and other items from the bed of the pickup toward pursuing patrol vehicles," police said, adding that no patrol vehicles sustained damage as a result.

While in the 3000 block of NE Yellowpine Road, the man jumped from the pickup and fled on foot into a nearby residential yard. Officers established a containment perimeter and began searching for him.

Meanwhile, the woman continued to elude officers before failing to negotiate a corner and crashing the pickup a short distance away. She tried to run, but was quickly apprehended near the crash site.

Officers continued searching the surrounding area for the man, eventually locating him hiding inside an RV near NE Mountain Ash Road. He was taken into custody without further incident.

Neither suspect nor any officers were injured during the incident.

During the investigation, officers confirmed that the motorcycle involved in the initial pursuit had been reported stolen. More charges related to the stolen motorcycle are pending as the investigation continues.

• Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer on Foot

• Attempted Assault on a Public Safety Officer
