Man gets 6 years, 8 months for Stella's Sandtrap crash
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A man who led police on a brief, high-speed chase that ended with a vehicle crashing through the wall of east Bakersfield bar Stella's Sandtrap was sentenced to prison Wednesday morning, according to court records. Manuel Gonzalez, 23, was sentenced to six years and eight months after pleading no contest to charges of drunken driving and evading a peace officer causing injury. The crash occurred shortly after midnight on June 16, 2024, after police tried to pull over an Audi A4 in the 2000 block of Niles Street for illegally tinted windows. The Audi sped off and a chase ensued that reached speeds of more than 80 mph, according to court documents. The Audi's lights turned off as it entered the intersection of Niles and Oswell streets on a red light, police said. It hit a Chevy Suburban traveling north then careened into the parking lot of Stella's Sandtrap — barreling into a parked car and knocking it through a wall. Multiple patrons were injured, none seriously. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
