Pursuit and Arrest of DUI Suspect at Broadway and 36th Street

Summary: LAPD South Bureau units engaged in a vehicle pursuit of a suspected DUI driver in a white Kia. The pursuit began eastbound on 39th Street from Figueroa and continued through several intersections, including Broadway and 36th Street. The suspect eventually abandoned the vehicle, fled on foot, and barricaded himself inside a fenced area near Broadway and 35th/36th Street. Officers coordinated to secure the suspect and the still-moving vehicle, requested additional units and breaching tools, and ultimately took the suspect into custody. The incident also involved securing the scene near William Jefferson Clinton Middle School, with coordination for school police to respond due to a lock being cut during the operation. The situation was resolved with the suspect in custody and no further outstanding threats.
