Pursuit Ends When Sheriff's Vehicles Surround Suspect's Car in Maywood

A domestic violence call sparked the hour-long pursuit

A pursuit full of twists and turns came to an end Wednesday evening when the suspect was surrounded by law enforcement vehicles. 

Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Department responded to a domestic violence call around 6:40 p.m. on Rockview Drive in unincorporated Anaheim. 

When the deputies arrived, the suspect had already left. A deputy spotted the man's SUV a few blocks away and tried to pull him over, but the suspect did not stop, sheriff's officials said. 

The driver of the silver SUV led deputies on an hour-long pursuit along surface streets and multiple freeways and eventually back onto surface streets. 

Aerial footage from NewsChopper 4 showed the driver blowing through stop signs and red lights and doing several U-turns in traffic. 

The pursuit ended around 7:50 p.m. when officers surrounded the suspect with their vehicles at the intersection of East 60th Street and Atlantic Boulevard in Maywood. The suspect's SUV collided with a law enforcement vehicle. 

Deputies pulled the domestic violence suspect out of the SUV and took him into custody. 

The pursuit driver, who has not yet been identified, has not been booked yet, but is possibly facing evading charges and more. 

No officers were injured in the chase.
