April 25, 2024 (La Mesa) – Stolen mail, an illegal semi-automatic ghost gun, live and spent ammunition were among the items found in the vehicle of a suspect apprehended April 20 after a pursuit.
La Mesa Police officers responded to a call reporting a man pointing a gun at a female victim at the Jack in the Box restaurant on Jackson Drive in La Mesa shortly before midnight. The officers spotted a vehicle leaving the scene that matched a description of the suspect’s vehicle.
When officers initiated a traffic stop, the driver fled, leading to a pursuit through La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and Paradise Hills.
The suspect was later apprehended with help from the San Diego Sheriff and San Diego Police departments. He was booked into San Diego County Jail on multiple felony counts.
La Mesa Police dubbed this a “great arrest” in a post on social media.
