A 36-year-old Santa Rosa man is accused of hitting a Rohnert Park police officer with an open car door Monday night before leading authorities on a chase that ended with officers pulling him from his vehicle.

Alex Reed was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, probation violation and failing to yield, according to a Tuesday statement from the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety.

He's being held at the Sonoma County jail and is scheduled to appear in Sonoma County Superior Court Wednesday, records show.

Police say they encountered Reed about 9:40 p.m. Monday on Classic Court, off State Farm Drive. A Rohnert Park police spokesman said he did not have information on what attracted officers' attention to the suspect.

He was sitting inside a silver Hyundai SUV and appeared to be under the influence of drugs, police said.

Reed is accused of putting his vehicle in reverse while his car door was open and hitting an officer at the scene. The officer was treated at a local hospital for moderate injuries, police said.

Officers chased Reed around the city at speeds reaching 50 mph before getting onto northbound Highway 101, police said. Other law enforcement agencies assisted and he was arrested in Santa Rosa.

Santa Rosa police got involved 9:55 p.m.and tried to stop the suspect near Petaluma Hill Road and Yolanda Avenue.

Near there, officers deployed a spike strip that punctured the suspects tires and he continued to drive, Santa Rosa police said.

He briefly stopped on Petaluma Hill Road before driving off and leading police on a chase at speeds of 20 to 30 mph, Sgt. Patricia Seffens said.

The chase continued onto Yolanda and then to Santa Rosa Avenue, where Reed is accused of running a red light.

He got onto eastbound Burt Street, where an officer performed a Pit maneuver on the suspect as he drove 20 mph. This involves an officer connecting with a suspect vehicle and forcing it to spin out.

Reed refused to come out of his vehicle and a Santa Rosa hostage negotiator communicated with him for over an hour, Seffens said.

Police used a drone to survey the scene and it showed the suspect talking on his phone with a "small dog" in the vehicle, according to Santa Rosa police.

Police deployed pepper spray into the vehicle. Reed still refused to come out and a team of officers had to "physically remove him," Seffens said.

The matter was resolved about 11:30 p.m. Paramedics treated the suspect at the scene for pepper spray exposure and his dog was turned over to animal officials, police said.

Court records show Reed has previous misdemeanor convictions of obstructing police and giving police false identification. Both convictions were from this year.
