After a chase across several cities and the ramming of two police vehicles, a fleeing suspect was finally subdued by a K-9 police dog.

According to Sgt. Nick Jensen of the Garden Grove Police Department,  Jonathan McLaurin, 28, of Santa Ana, was arrested Sunday afternoon after an extended pursuit that began in Garden Grove.

The vehicle had been stolen during a commercial burglary in Garden Grove earlier in the day.
The chase began around 1:52 p.m. when a GGPD officer spotted a reported stolen vehicle in the area of Garden Grove and Harbor boulevards. The vehicle – a black Land Rover Sport –did not yield to the officer’s attempt to make a traffic stop and a pursuit ensued.

During the chase, said Jensen, the suspect “intentionally rammed” two separate police vehicles before finally coming to a stop on the Riverside (91) Freeway east of Imperial Highway.

A police armored vehicle was deployed to keep the Land Rover from fleeing again. After several attempts to get the suspect to leave the car on his own, a police dog was used and the suspect was taken into custody.

He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and booked into Orange County after receiving medical treatment.
