SAN DIEGO – A man suspected of threatening his family with a gun and vandalizing vehicles in a Linda Vista-area neighborhood today led officers on a road chase from Mission Valley to Flinn Springs before being subdued by a police dog and arrested.
Following the purported violent outburst, the 34-year-old suspect left the area in a pickup truck, SDPD Officer David O’Brien said. Minutes later, the suspect got onto Interstate 8 from Mission Center Road, crashing the truck into another vehicle on the on-ramp. A short distance away, near Texas Street, the pickup collided with a fire truck on the freeway, then continued on to the east, O’Brien said.
The pursuit ended just east of Lake Jennings, where the suspect made a failed bid to evade arrest by bailing out of the truck and fleeing on foot on the freeway. The escape attempt ended when a service dog chased him down and pulled him to the ground.
