SHASTA COUNTY, CA (July 18, 2022) — James Chapman was arrested following a police chase on Happy Valley Road near Majestic View Drive on Friday.
 
According to Shasta County deputies, the incident happened around 5:10 a.m. After 36-years-old Chapman tried to hit a Shasta County deputy head-on while driving the wrong way, a pursuit unfolded.
