The police eventually cornered the suspect in a cul de sac, but he rammed the police cars and which prompted one of the police officers fired a single shot into a tire on the stolen car.

However the suspect kept driving the stolen Jeep, crashing it a few more times. The driver then bailed when the vehicle was so wrecked that it could not go any further.

The police used a K9 police dog to find the suspect as they searched in nearby yards. The dog also bit the suspect, who was finally arrested at 12:52 p.m.

That suspect was later identified as Kenneth Durazo, a 29-year-old resident of Westminster who was on parole.
