Testimony indicated the man drove up to 90 mph while veering across lanes and he opened his driver's side door during the race.
After officers moved past the slow-moving vehicles, six other vehicles then sped off.
Among those six vehicles was a Honda Civic driven by and registered to Guillins, the City Attorney's Office said. Testimony from Guillins' jury trial indicated his car reached up to 90 mph while veering across lanes, and Guillins opened his driver's side door during the race. The City Attorney's Office said,"The dangerous combination of these vehicle code violations drew officers' attention specifically to Guillins' car, despite other vehicles participating in the speed contest."
Guillins was pursued by officers for almost three minutes before exiting the freeway at Home Avenue, according to the City Attorney's Office. He was charged with one count of street racing and one count of evading an officer, and convicted last week on the street racing charge.
