Deputies in pursuit near Granada Hills
Los Angeles County deputies are in pursuit of a driver near Granada Hills. It's unclear where the chase began. With SkyCal overhead, the driver, behind the wheel of a large pickup truck, could be seen driving on the wrong side of the road. At one point, a person who appeared to be a passenger briefly exited the truck and tried to open the door of a white sedan. When the door did not open, they got back into the truck, which took off again heading against traffic on the 405 Freeway in Sylmar. They again attempted to get into another vehicle, a white semi truck, just moments after the first attempt.

Accused drug dealer pleads guilty to felony charge in Flathead County District Court
Aug. 9—An accused drug dealer arrested after a high-speed chase through Kalispell in June pleaded guilty last week to felony criminal endangerment. Baldemar Duarte-Nieto also faced a misdemeanor count for fleeing from or eluding a police officer, but prosecutors dropped the charge as part of a plea agreement filed in Flathead County District Court on July 31. Per the agreement, Duarte-Nieto faces a suspended sentence of up to five years with the state Department of Corrections as well as a fine of up to $50,000. He is scheduled to appear before Judge Heidi Ulbricht for sentencing on Sept. 25. On June 26, agents with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security notified Flathead County Sheriff's deputies of a possible suspect in the area. Duarte-Nieto had an active warrant out of Washington for narcotics possession and drug trafficking as well as a federal immigration violation for re-entering the country after he was previously deported, according to court documents. A deputy spotted Duarte-Nieto traveling southbound on the U.S. 93 Bypass and attempted to pull over the vehicle. Duarte-Nieto initially stopped but drove away as the deputy approached the vehicle, court documents alleged. The deputy gave chase as Duarte-Nieto allegedly sped eastbound on South Meridian Road. Duarte-Nieto reached speeds of up to 80 mph and collided with a tree and a parked vehicle while turning onto Fifth Street West, court documents said. Four people were in the parked car at the time of the collision. It was unclear whether any of them suffered injuries. Duarte-Nieto was arrested after he attempted to flee from his vehicle on foot. He remains in the Flathead County Jail with bail set at $100,000. Reporter Hailey Smalley can be reached at 758-4433 or hsmalley@

Six police cars, 90km pursuit: Cops arrest brothers in Shah Alam after hour-long chase
SHAH ALAM, Aug 5 — Two brothers, aged 24 and 18, led police on a high-speed chase covering 90 kilometres (km) that lasted nearly an hour before they were finally apprehended — all because they wanted to avoid a police inspection. Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said that the incident began at about 1.30am today after a Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) unit spotted a suspicious-looking blue Proton Wira while patrolling at the Section 7 Commercial Centre here. He said police used sirens and a loudspeaker to instruct the driver to stop, but the driver sped off recklessly. 'This led to a 90km chase around Shah Alam before six additional patrol vehicles were called in to help intercept the suspects' vehicle. 'After nearly an hour, police managed to intercept the vehicle in Section 9, in front of the Selangor Police Headquarters, and arrested both suspects,' he said in a statement today. Mohd Iqbal said that, upon inspection, police found a bottle containing a green liquid suspected to be ketum juice under the front passenger's seat. He added that checks also revealed that the 24-year-old suspect had five previous drug-related criminal records, while the 18-year-old had no criminal history. Mohd Iqbal said the case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for the offence of obstructing a public servant in the discharge of his public functions, in addition to opening investigations under Section 30(3) of the Poisons Act 1952. He added that the Shah Alam Magistrate's Court had allowed the brothers to be remanded for three days from today. Those with information regarding the incident can contact Investigating Officer Insp S Nawinthan at 016-2052314. Earlier, a 17-second video clip of several police cars chasing another vehicle at the Section 7 Commercial Centre in Shah Alam had gone viral on social media. — Bernama

'Police officers used their siren and loudspeaker to order the driver to stop, but the driver sped off in a reckless manner,' he said in a statement.
