A teenager was arrested after a dangerous pursuit through Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday.
The suspect was only identified as a 15-year-old boy by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies spotted the suspect driving without headlights near Baseline Road and Garnet Street around 1:13 a.m.
When authorities attempted to pull the boy over, he refused to stop, leading deputies on a pursuit.
During the chase, he drove through multiple stop signs and red lights before crossing a center median and driving on the wrong side of the road.
He eventually drove over a curb and crashed into a pole on Ramona Avenue, deputies said. He hopped out of the car and began running on foot into a nearby neighborhood.
A police helicopter that was on the scene led authorities in the direction where the suspect ran. He jumped a fence into a backyard and was eventually caught by deputies.
The teen was arrested and booked at the San Bernardino County Juvenile Hall.
