Police Chase A "Hands-Free" Cellphone Law Violator

A Los Angeles Times staff writer reported today that just before 1:00pm this afternoon the Beverly Hills police pulled a man over after being caught driving while using his cell phone. The police ran a check on the vehicle the man was driving and discovered that the Ford Econoline van had in fact been reported stolen. When the police officer went back to the van the driver fled the scene. Beverly Hills police spokesman Lt. Tony Lee stated "He was driving recklessly at a very high speed." The suspect led the police on a chase down Santa Monica Boulevard from Beverly Hills to Westwood where he then entered the northbound 405 freeway at Wilshire Boulevard driving south. After exiting the 405 freeway at Olympic the police finally brought the pursuit to a halt when surrounding him on Ohio Street and Sawtelle Boulevard in Los Angeles. The suspect was arrested after stealing the van, driving while using his cell phone, hit and run at least twice, fleeing police, and driving the wrong way on the freeway. During his chase he hit at least two other cars and crashed into a freeway embankment on the 405. It is unknown whether any injuries were sustained to the victims hit in their cars, but fortunately there were no fatalities due to the crashes reported.
