Intoxicated man arrested for numerous Felonies related to a police pursuit and collisions with his baby in the van.
We recieved information earlier this evening at approximately 8:00 pm that Anthony M. Trejo was intoxicated while driving a motor vehicle and left the area of south Pomona with his 1 year old baby. The child's mother contacted the police department for assistance and several police officers searched the area for his Honda mini-van.
The suspect was observed driving the vehicle in the area of Reservoir St and County Road. A slow speed pursuit was initiated and the supect pulled over for a short time. The suspect eventually fled the scene and increased his speeds while driving through Red Lights with a complete disregard for the public's safety. The active pursuit was cancelled to reduce the risk to the child and community while we sought air support to follow the vehicle.
The suspect was involved in 3 minor Hit & Run traffic collisions and 1 Felony Hit & Run traffic collision with minor injury after the pursuit was terminated.
We located the suspect vehicle in the 700 Blk of Washington a short time later. We immediatley located the child who was safe and uninjured in the vehilce. The suspect fled on foot to a nearby street where he was eventually captured.
