One cell leads to another: Ring tone leads Salem, Ore., police to hiding

SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- When a suspect being chased by police rolled his car over police spike strips and his tires went flat, he dashed into a field of grass where he thought he could hide. The police called out a dog and handler to find the driver. And then they heard a cell phone ring.

The ring tone led them to a 48-year-old man. He was booked on multiple charges, including parole violation.

The arrest followed a 70-mph chase through Marion County Saturday night that ended in Woodburn. Officers said the driver almost hit one car.
