Police have arrested a man who allegedly stole a truck from Sparks and then led officers on a pursuit in South Lake Tahoe on Wednesday night. 

Police say they tried to make a traffic stop on the alleged stolen truck on Lake Tahoe Blvd. after 8 p.m., but the suspect drove off.

That's when he led officers on a pursuit into the Al Tahoe neighborhood, back to Lake Tahoe Blvd. then crossed the highway and tried to get away on some large rocks, which tore off a front wheel.

Police say the Sparks man then continued to drive eastbound until the truck broke down and he got out and ran.

Eventually, the suspect, 48-year-old Paul Mock was arrested in a parking lot.

Mock was arrested on the following charges:

* Possession of a stolen vehicle

* Evade peace officer with wanton disregard for safety

* Evade peace officer: wrong way driver

* Obstruct/resist a peace officer

Mock is currently being held in the El Dorado County jail with a bail of $203,000.Â
