Hawthorne police chase, arrest armed suspect
A suspect who sped and drove erratically led Hawthorne police officers on a pursuit a few minutes ago.
Not sure yet where and when the chase began, but it traveled in the area of Rosecrans and Crenshaw Boulevards and Marine Avenue, hitting side streets and main thoroughfares alike.
The suspect crashed and was arrested at gunpoint on Cerise Avenue north of 135th Street. He had an unloaded gun in the glove box.
All of the above came from what we heard on the police scanner. Awaiting details from the Hawthorne Police Department.
