Early morning round-up

It’s a familiar tale with cops: Anytime there’s bad weather, “the rain has stopped everything,” they say, or “nothing’s going on but the rain.”

Regardless, I was able to get a few interesting things out of police this morning, namely an alleged drunken driver who led sheriff’s deputies on a freeway chase in Norwalk about 12:40 a.m. today. The vehicle of choice? A U-Haul truck. In the end, the suspect — who has only been identified as a 42-year-old man from Pico Rivera — stopped the truck but then refused to get out. Sheriff’s deputies had to break a window to detain him.

No updates on the condition of a Bassett man who was shot in the behind Tuesday night in the 300 block of Siesta Avenue. Authorities don’t seem to think the injuries are life-threatening.
