South Los Angeles, CA, May 17, 2025 — Early morning at approximately 4:30 a.m., CHP officers were following a vehicle suspected of DUI near 93rd Street and Broadway. During the pursuit, the driver sideswiped a parked car and attempted a U-turn but came to a stop in the middle of the road. The suspect then refused to exit the vehicle and ignored officers’ commands for more than 30 minutes, prompting the LAPD air unit to issue a backup call to assist on the ground. After an extended standoff, the driver finally exited the car and was subjected to DUI tests. Following the tests, the suspect was arrested. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine further details regarding the incident.
