Officers spotted Boghozian, who was wearing a helmet with a Mohawk adhered to it, speeding on Glenoaks before allegedly running a red light at Grandview after they activated their lights and sirens.

Officers briefly lost him, but were eventually able to find him at Glenoaks and Rosedale Avenue, according to police

He was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for a red light and stop signs, driving at an unsafe speed and fleeing from police.
