What One Man is Accused of stealing from a Coronado Navy Base

SAN DIEGO - The man accused of stealing a Humvee from a Navy base in Coronado will face a judge Tuesday.

Police arrested Shawn Farrar on Friday after he led authorities on a chase through several South Bay communities. The Navy says the Humvee was stolen from Silver Strand Training Complex last Thursday and that Farrar crashed through two gates in order to escape.

Police discovered the vehicle in Imperial Beach the next day, and after a brief chase, officers stopped the vehicle near Palm City.

Farrar, who claims to be a former Marine, is charged with multiple felonies including possession of a stolen vehicle, grand theft and evading police.
