Auburn officer injured in Friday pursuit

One Auburn Police Department officer sustained moderate injuries during a subject apprehension late Friday night. The Auburn Police Department reported that at 11:39 p.m. Friday, officers initiated a traffic stop for multiple vehicle code violations. The situation escalated when the vehicle evaded officers and led them on a 20-mile pursuit into Sacramento County. "The pursuit concluded with a high-risk stop, but the individual barricaded themselves in the vehicle, refusing to comply with orders," the Auburn Police Department stated on social media. "Despite numerous attempts to gain cooperation, APD officers and deputies from the Placer County Sheriff's Department courageously approached the vehicle to safely apprehend the suspect." The subject "turned combative" during the apprehension, resulting in minor injuries of several officers. Auburn Police Department reported one officer sustained moderate injuries and is recovering at home after receiving local hospital treatment. Mohammadhussain Asadollah was booked into Placer County Jail on Saturday on charges of resisting a peace officer, felony battery against a police officer, obstructing a peace officer and evading a peace officer. He posted $50,000 bail within the same day.
