SUMMARY: On October 19, 2014, at about 11:30pm, a sheriff's deputy of the Fontana Station observed a 2008 Scion displaying paper plates and traveling at a high rate of speed in the Bloomington area. The deputy attempted to stop the Scion for traffic violations but the vehicle accelerated and failed to yield. A vehicle pursuit was initiated and continued into the City of Riverside as the driver drove at a high rate of speed and ignored posted traffic signals. Riverside Police officers assisted as the pursuit terminated in Riverside and the driver was taken into custody. The driver was identified as Antonio Membribes.
Through further investigation, the Scion was discovered to have been reported stolen out of Rancho Cucamonga in September. Investigators recovered a stun gun, duct tape, and air soft guns from the vehicle.
Membribes was booked into the West Valley Detention Center for 2800.2 Felony Evading and PC 496 Possession of Stolen Vehicle. Membribes was found to be on Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) for possession of controlled substance and possession of stolen property as a result of California Assembly Bill 109.
