A driver who fled from police broke into an Allied Gardens home on Halloween night and barricaded himself inside a bathroom before being arrested, San Diego police said.<\/p>\n
The pursuit began shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, when officers tried to stop a white Ford truck that had run a red light at Navajo Road and Park Ridge Boulevard, police Lt. Travis Easter said. The driver did not stop and fled, he said.<\/p>\n
After about 10 minutes, officers used a spike strip, flattening his tires and causing him to ditch the truck in a neighborhood, police said. He ran off, broke into an occupied home on Hamlet Court and barricaded himself into the bathroom, police said.<\/p>\n
Afraid of the potential for hostages, officers followed the suspect inside and fought with him. Police deployed a Taser, and he was taken into custody. He was booked into jail after being evaluated at a hospital.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old suspect was booked into jail on charges of burglary, resisting arrest, felony evading and fleeing police while driving the wrong direction, according to jail booking records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A driver who fled from police broke into an Allied Gardens home on Halloween night and barricaded himself…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[25539,7,138,181,23,100,17324,74,84,76,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-36378","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-allied-gardens","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","11":"tag-latest-headlines","12":"tag-local-news","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-san-carlos-san-diego","15":"tag-san-diego","16":"tag-san-diego-county","17":"tag-san-diego-headlines","18":"tag-san-diego-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
