SOUTH LAKE TAHOE -- Police arrested a suspect who they say crashed a stolen car in South Lake Tahoe after he took off from them Wednesday afternoon. 

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department said officers located an Audi that was stolen out of Sacramento heading toward the Y from Meyers.

The driver didn't stop and took off through the Y at high speeds.

When officers caught up with the vehicle, they found it crashed in front of the BevMo on Emerald Bay Road, but the driver was nowhere in sight. 

A perimeter was set and officers searched the area using a K9, drone and CHP helicopter, but the suspect wasn't found.

The suspect, later identified as 27-year-old Dylan English of Reno, was arrested when police responded to a suspicious person report near Alpine Drive and Venice Driver on Thursday afternoon. 

English was arrested for evading police and vehicle theft.
