Deputy Kassis arrived at the location to find hundreds of vehicles gathered in the shopping center. Several vehicles were driving in circles at a high rate of speed in the shopping center. Kassis then observed a white Lexus driving in a reckless manner in the intersection near the entrance to the shopping center. Kassis attempted to stop the Lexus for the traffic violation, however it fled on Greenspot to the next shopping center entrance.
