On 03/01/2014 at approximately 0345 hours Tulare County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the Reservation and located Garfield exiting the driveway of the 100 block of N. Reservation Road. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle which Garfield was driving. Garfield fled off road, driving crosscountry down a mountainside. A pursuit ensued with units following Garfield on paved roads. The pursuit was terminated near Chololo Campground (approx. 2 mi east) due to muddy and dangerous road conditions.

            At approximately 0810 hours, Deputies re-located Garfield on foot near the 100 block of N. Reservation road and a chase ensued. Garfield was seen running into family member’s residence and imminently exiting. Garfield eventually ran into a house on the 100 block of N. Reservation Rd and barricaded himself. Garfield made multiple threats to TCSO Deputies while being barricaded. Deputies attempted to reason with Garfield and he eventually exited the house without further incident. 

Larry Garfield was booked for P.C. 836, P.C. 422, P.C. 245, P.C. 69, P.C. 602 and CVC 2800.2
