BREAKING NEWS: Helicopters overhead means there's a chase
It all started with him running a red light. Deputies tried to stop him, but he didn't want to stop. He raced at speeds up to 85 mph along the Harbor and Century freeways for quite a while, then made his way through Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach into Redondo Beach, where he drove into a complex at Pacific Avenue and Harbor Drive and became trapped. (That's that little street that curves around next to Captain Kidd's restaurant toward Catalina Avenue.)
He ran from his car, but was quickly arrested.
The man had a female passenger with him. Deputies are looking into whether she was there of her own free will, or was kidnapped. Fox 11 has the video. Video
We'll update it when they figure things out.
