A police pursuit on Interstate 15 northbound resulted in a standoff Tuesday morning as officers worked to resolve an incident involving a stolen trailer, according to the San Diego Police Department. The suspect is now in custody.
Officers responded at approximately 8:30 a.m. to a report that a female suspect was attempting to steal a trailer in Clairemont Mesa, police said. The suspect then fled the area with the trailer attached to her SUV. When officers located the vehicle and attempted to stop it, the suspect led police on a pursuit onto Interstate 15 northbound.
Officers blocked the vehicle and attempted to talk to the driver but she did not respond. After an hour of negotiations, pepper balls were shot into the vehicle according the SPDD. The driver pushed the police cars out of the way and was able to exit at Miramar Way. After traveling southbound on I-15, the driver did a U-turn and started driving the wrong way along the freeway, prompting the officers to stop the pursuit temporarily due to collision concerns.
The woman then got out of the damaged vehicle with a dog and appeared to try to force her way into several other vehicles before officers subdued her with a stun gun and took her into custody, SDPD said.
