An assault with a deadly weapon suspect fled from authorities in Palm Springs, prompting a vehicle pursuit that ended in the suspect’s arrest Tuesday, authorities said.
Deputies responded to the 100 block of Pioneer Trail at 10:43 a.m. Tuesday, according to Sgt. Robert Martinez of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
Before they arrived at the scene, the suspect allegedly had fled the area in a vehicle. Deputies located the vehicle traveling in the area of San Rafael Drive and Indian Canyon Drive and attempted to stop it, but the suspect failed to yield and a pursuit ensued.
The pursuit ended in the 1000 block of East San Rafael Drive when the vehicle came to a stop, Martinez said. The individual, who was not identified, was taken into custody without further incident and no injuries were reported.
The investigation was ongoing.
