PASADENA >> Police arrested a man who threw a handgun while running from police late Saturday, officials said.
Officers jailed alleged gang member Unique Dedwin Robinson, 22, of Fontana on suspicion of carrying a concealed handgun, Pasadena police Lt. John Luna said.
Officers spotted a group of suspected gang members about 10:30 p.m. at Sunset Avenue and Hammond Street, outside of the Kings Villages apartment complex, Luna said.
As officers approached the group, Robinson walked away, the lieutenant said. But he walked toward other officers who were approaching from another direction.
Robinson threw a .22-caliber, semi-automatic handgun as he fled from the police into a nearby home, where he was arrested a short time later, Luna said.
Los Angeles County booking records indicated Robinson was being held in lieu of $90,000 bail pending his initial court date.
