MYRTLE CREEK, Ore. -- An official from the Myrtle Creek Police department told KPIC Wednesday that one of the suspects involved in a high speed chase Tuesday afternoon was found in the general vicinity of where the suspect vehicle had crashed.

According to police officials, the suspect, whom they believe was the passenger, was found in some trees and brush not far from where the vehicle had crashed after being pursued by police officers from three different agencies.

Sgt. Maleck of the MCPD said that the suspect had decided that he no longer wanted to run and began crying for help when he became cold.

Robert Ashton, 24, was rescued by police and then arrested for a parole violation. He is currently lodged in the Douglas County Jail.

The other suspect has not been caught at this point, but several agencies are looking into the case.

Officials say that evidence from a reported burglary being investigated by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office was found in the back of the pickup. The vehicle was also reported stolen by the registered owner.

Officer Ben Woodward of the Sutherlin Police Department is also investigating several stolen credit cards that were found in the vehicle.

Officers were on-scene until around 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, and officials from Sutherlin Police Department, Myrtle Creek Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Oregon State Police are all investigating the case.

The Original story is below:

The Myrtle Creek Police, Douglas County Sheriff's officers and the Oregon State Police are trying to find two suspects after a high speed chase on Interstate 5 Tuesday afternoon.

The pursuit for a Grey Ford pickup truck began around 12:30 p.m., after a driver failed to stop for a Myrtle Creek Police Officer attempting to initiate a routine traffic stop near North Pacific Highway.

The suspect vehicle took off, traveling at speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour before entering the freeway.

Officer Brewster from the Myrtle Creek Police Department said, "The vehicle entered Interstate 5 at milepost 103, headed southbound, speeds at some points in an excess of 100 miles per hour for a short distance until the vehicle exited and took Gasley Road. The vehicle then traveled along Gasley Road for several miles until turning off and actually coming back on to Interstate 5, this time traveling northbound at exit 99."

The suspect was able to avoid spike strips near exit 103, but two Myrtle Creek police cars hit the strips and were taken out of the pursuit.

The Sheriff's Department took over as the vehicle exited at Boomer Hill Road, taking police and Sheriff's officers on a high speed chase through windy, narrow roads into BLM property.

"Two of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office patrol cars along with a Myrtle Creek officer who was riding in one of them stayed with the vehicle, as he was traveling up Boomer Hill, and were closely behind the vehicle until it crashed," said Officer Brewster.

The suspects fled on foot in the mountains after the vehicle stopped, crashing into several trees nearly 40 minutes later.

The Douglas County Sheriff's department, Myrtle Creek Police and OSP police officers canvassed the area and upper perimeter and called in a tracking dog.

Over a dozen officers were investigating the vehicle and the surrounding areas near Myrtle Creek and Riddle.

If you have any information regarding the suspects you are urged to contact the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Some speculation has been made regarding a possible shooting in Myrtle Creek with connection to the high speed chase, but officers say they are investigating whether a shooting actually occurred, and at this point don't believe the two incidents are connected.
