WEST COVINA — Police arrested two men who ran from a stolen car Thursday, including one who was subdued with a Tazer and a bean bag gun after trying to choke a police dog sent to capture him, authorities said.

Officers received a report of a stolen car about 2:10 p.m. in the 1300 block of South Fleetwell Avenue, West Covina police Lt. Tommy Garcia said.

Officers searching the area spotted the stolen car about 2:30 p.m. less than a mile to the south, parked along a curb on Azusa and Fairgrove avenues, the lieutenant said.

Both men, initially described as appearing to be in their late teens or early 20s, ran from the car once they spotted an approaching police officer, Garcia said.

The passenger was captured almost immediately, he said, however officials set up a search perimeter to hunt for the driver.

A short time later, were notified by a resident of the 1700 block of Newcrest Drive that he had arrived home to find a man had broken into his house and was hiding in his bathroom, Garcia said.

Police ultimately forced their way into the home and sent in a police dog, the lieutenant said.

“He was fighting with the dog. He wasn’t giving up,” Garcia said. “He actually got the dog into a position where he was choking the dog.”

At that point, officers shocked the suspect with a Taser with no effect, he said. Officers then fired a bean bag round at the suspect and took him into custody.

The suspects’ names were not available Thursday afternoon pending booking, officials said.

The passenger was being held on suspicion of auto theft, while the driver was suspected of auto theft, burglary and resisting arrest.
