Short vehicle pursuit results in arrest for drugs and guns.
SVPD officers witnessed a car departing from the First Street side of the Town Center, exhibiting erratic driving behavior. Upon catching up with the vehicle near the intersection of First Street and Royal Avenue, the driver sped up in an attempt to elude officers. This led to a brief pursuit, heading south on First Street and then west on Long Canyon, with speeds in excess of 90 MPH. Eventually, the suspect self-terminated the pursuit in the 500 block of Rustic Hills, colliding with another vehicle parked in a driveway. The driver then attempted to escape on foot towards the front door of a residence, but couldn't gain entry. Officers quickly apprehended and arrested the individual.
