Possible DUI driver leads officers on pursuit through San Gabriel Valley

Police are in pursuit of a possible DUI driver in the San Gabriel Valley.

The Monterey Park Police Department started the chase but handed it off to the California Highway Patrol after it entered the freeway.

The suspect drove slowly down the I-10 Freeway before coming to a complete stop. With their guns drawn, officers watched the suspect launch an animated rant in his front seat before slowly taking off again. 

The suspect eventually exited the freeway and continued to slow-speed pursuit on surface streets for several minutes before getting onto the northbound lanes of I-605.

Again, a little after 10:40 p.m., the suspect returned onto surface streets, leading officers down narrow roads and alleys. 

After nearly an hour, the suspect stopped near the intersection of Encanto Parkway and Huntington Drive. Officers rushed to get a spike strip in front of the rear tires and eventually shot out the back window with less-than-lethal rounds. 

The suspect appeared to be enraged while he was surrendering.
