On August 5, 2025, a California Highway Patrol officer assigned to the Newhall Area conducted a traffic stop on Sierra Highway north of Anthony Road in northeast Los Angeles County after radar confirmed a vehicle traveling at 92 miles per hour in the posted 55 mph zone. After stopping the vehicle, the officer observed signs of alcohol impairment, including the odor of an alcoholic beverage, red and watery eyes, and slurred speech. The driver allegedly admitted to consuming alcohol earlier in the evening. The driver refused to exit the vehicle and declined field sobriety tests. After being advised he was under arrest, the driver allegedly accelerated away from the traffic stop, leading officers on a short pursuit through a residential area. Speeds during the pursuit were reported at approximately 55 mph. The vehicle entered a driveway and the driver fled on foot into a residence. The officer made entry while in pursuit with his bodycam capturing the events. An Electronic Control Device (Taser) was deployed, and the driver was taken into custody without further incident. The driver was transported to Henry Mayo Hospital where a blood sample was collected. He was later booked at the Los Angeles County Jail facility on the following charges: • 2800.2(a) VC — Felony Reckless Evading • 23152(a) VC — Driving Under the Influence • 23152(b) VC — Driving with a BAC of 0.08% or Greater (pending blood results) • 148(a)(1) PC — Resisting Arrest California Highway Patrol Officers involved: Officer Penza ID - 21151 Officer Fonseca ID - 21179 Officer Valdez ID - 23508 Officer Kirby ID - 22404 Officer Johnson ID - 22041 Officer Zermeno ID - 23767 Officer Hernandez ID - 23260 All persons are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. #police #policechase #chp #cops #bodycam
