An armed parolee from Oregon, who led law enforcement on a 100-mile pursuit in an RV, was captured and arrested Thursday in a Barstow rail yard after a two-day manhunt, officials said.

Stephen Houk, 46, allegedly kidnapped his own children following a domestic violence incident in Santa Clarita, leading to a pursuit spanning two counties, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Houk is a registered sex offender out of the state of Oregon who was on parole for a sex offense, according to the LASD.

Sheriff’s officials are expected to charge Houk with evading arrest, child abduction, child endangerment and weapons violations.

The suspect led law enforcement on two separate pursuits Tuesday, after a domestic disturbance incident in Valencia.

Houk’s two children, a 3-year-old and an 11-month-old, were inside the motorhome, according to the LASD.

The first chase began around 10 a.m. Tuesday when Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies attempted a traffic stop on a “1989 Dolphin RV,” said Sgt. Brian Shreves.

“Deputies attempted to pull the RV over, then the driver took off,” said Shreves. “We called off the pursuit shortly after, due to public safety.”

The motorhome was later found in the Hollywood area around 2:30 p.m. by the Los Angeles Police Department.

APD officers attempted to pull the RV over, and the driver led law enforcement on the second chase from Hollywood to Bakersfield — spanning two counties.

The motorhome then drove northbound on the 170 Freeway past the San Fernando Valley up the Interstate 5, according to the LAPD.

The chase ended on a dirt road in Shafter around 6:15 p.m. north of Bakersfield in Kern County, according to CHP.

The two children were safely recovered from the vehicle, but Houk was nowhere to be found, leading to a manhunt.

Houk was found about 150 miles away, in a rail yard in Barstow, two days later.
