Parolee Holes Up in Apartment After Chase
An Anaheim man wanted for parole violations led police on a high-speed chase through half a dozen cities before barricading himself in a La Habra apartment late Friday.
Edward Ramirez, 26, found police waiting for him about 7 p.m. at his home off the Riverside Freeway near East Street in Anaheim, investigators said. Instead of surrendering, he sped off in a small truck, initiating the half-hour chase.
“He got on and off many freeways, making U-turns and things like that,” said Sgt. Rick Martinez, a spokesman for the Anaheim Police Department.
Eventually, Ramirez abandoned the car in front of an apartment complex near Idaho Street and Imperial Highway, police said, and disappeared inside.
Police had cordoned off the area late Friday and were searching the complex.
