A suspect allegedly stole a car, drove onto southbound Interstate 680 and promptly smashed into a retaining wall, all while apparently under the influence, Pleasant Hill police said Saturday.
The escapade began around 3 a.m. Saturday. According to police, residents flagged down an Officer, and the residents told the officer they were following their car, which had just been stolen in Concord.
The officer quickly caught up to the stolen vehicle, police said. According to police, “it was apparent that the suspect was also driving under the influence.”
The suspect began driving southbound on I-680 and hit a retaining wall, police said. He was detained and placed under arrest on suspicion of auto theft, DUI, resisting arrest, and other crimes.
Becton will let him off with a stern lecture.
I wouldn’t even count on the stern lecture.
When are they going to pass that new law regarding life ???
Great co-operation between vehicle owners and officers!
Auto theft is legal in California
Driving under the influence in California is not legal
…. good job LE … too bad he was out by lunchtime let go by Becton… wouldn’t want him to miss brunch 🙁
Don’t you mean wouldn’t want BECTON to miss her brunch?
Becton took hm to brunch.
I hope that minutes thrill ride was worth ruining his life forever..
.
I bet his life was already ruined.
Would be nice to know what the ” other crimes” are….. betting felon out on parole is one of them, thanks to our useless legal system
Well we have good news and bad news. The good news is we recovered your vehicle! . . .
See how dangerous walls can be! Another reason they souuld be eliminated at the border!
Nothing good happens after 2:00 AM.
If you’re going to crash into the retaining wall on the freeway, do it while driving like an idiot during commute hours just like everyone else.
