Police Blotter: Pursuit Results In DUI Arrest

According to a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department news release, on Saturday, April 11, 2009, deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a 1994 Ford truck at 9th Street and Sterling Avenue in the city of Highland that was driving in an erratic manner.

Rather then pulling over to the side of the road, the vehicle continued traveling along 9th Street. As the Ford reached the intersection of McKinley and 9th Street the driver, 26-year-old Gaspar Soc, made a left turn. The speed of the vehicle was approximately 20 to 25 miles per hour. The vehicle continued to swerve and drive poorly. The Ford continued north on McKinley driving through a red signal at Base Line and McKinley. The driver drove north into an apartment complex parking lot and then pulled the truck over.

Soc was found to be under the influence of alcohol and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving Under the Influence and evading. He was transported and booked into the Central Detention Center.
