42-year-old San Luis Obispo resident Jason Robert McMaster.
–On Thursday, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 42-year-old San Luis Obispo resident Jason Robert McMaster, and 33-year-old San Luis Obispo resident Chelsea Ann Deperna after a high speed pursuit through rural Templeton.
At 11:25 a.m., a deputy observed a white BMW traveling east on Highway 41 in rural Templeton with false registration tags while traveling at an unsafe speed. The deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle at which point it fled.
Deputies pursued the vehicle for approximately 17 minutes at speeds at times exceeding 90 miles an hour on rural county roads. The vehicle went off the road to avoid a spike strip at the intersection of Creston Road and El Pomar. The male driver and the female passenger were both taken into custody without further incident.
The driver was identified as Jason Robert McMaster who is currently wanted for an outstanding $100,000 warrant for the transportation of a controlled substance and possession for sale of a controlled substance. McMaster was arrested in December for drug and other charges after a high risk felony traffic stop. McMaster has a violent criminal history which includes fighting with law enforcement and making criminal threats. McMaster is also known to be an associate/member of a local criminal street gang, police say.
33-year-old San Luis Obispo resident Chelsea Ann Deperna.
The passenger was identified as Chelsea Ann Deperna. After a search of the vehicle, a loaded handgun was found. McMaster was arrested for his outstanding warrant, felony evading police and misdemeanor vehicle code violations. Deperna was arrested for a felon in possession of a firearm.
I happened to be just about to turn onto the road when I saw a white car whizz by and a police car with lights also fly by after the car. Then on the road a few minutes later, another police car flew by at super high speed. I thought to myself, "Oh boy. Trouble." Yep. It was this chase.
You can see in this guy's face that he wouldn't have cared if he killed somebody. Politicians will never do anything about these scumbags. So we just wait for our turn to die because of them.
You can see that in his face? How about this then: tell me what you see in his face when SLO PD shot him in the face with a tazer. Then understand part of why I didn't want us to pull over. https://youtu.be/MGYbk149boY
Wow don't ask me what I see when I look at your face ….I can be narrow minded and let my ass over load my mouth too !
