CityWatch Editor CITRUS - Two hours of negotiations led to the safe surrender of a man accused of grand theft auto and evading police Monday. The suspect, who has yet to be booked by Sheriff’s deputies, climbed up a tall tree at the corner of East Payson Street and North Rockvale Avenue around 4:30 p.m. A little more than an hour before, He and a passenger evaded Upland officers who tried to stop them in a stolen vehicle. The vehicle was stolen in Azusa the same day. Upland Police found the car at East Foothill Boulevard and North 2nd Avenue just after 3 p.m.
Upland officers ended their portion of the chase west on the 210 freeway at Fruit Street, according to Upland Police Sgt. Anthony Kabayan.
The California Highway Patrol kept the chase going, even on Azusa surface streets, but officers eventually cancelled the chase. The suspects drove around erratically, almost aimlessly in the same area where the passenger was let out to take refuge in a home. The driver stopped nearby after a front right tire gave way. He took refuge in the tree after running through neighborhoods. Television news pilots alerted a Sheriff’s helicopter of the driver’s location, according to San Dimas Sheriff’s Station Lt. Mackenzie. Kabayan had no information regarding some items the suspects tossed out during the chase, except for a hat discarded during the start of the chase. The passenger has yet to be found. The driver was hospitalized before being booked, Mackenzie said. San Dimas detectives are working on identifying the passenger.

No weapon was found in the 18200 block of Kirkwall Road around 11:27 p.m. in unincorporated Azusa. A reveler said he saw a suspect place a weapon in the truck of a car, but when deputies arrived and detained six people in the vehicle, deputies found something different. “Inside the car [the deputy] found four bottle of Noz ... and several baggies of marijuana packaged for sales,” according to Sgt. Pete Shupe of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas Station. Noz, otherwise known as nitrous oxide, is filled into party balloons and is then inhaled to give the partygoer a calm, relaxed sensation. Inhaling Noz can have temporary adverse effects for sight and hearing. Residents in the area reported a helicopter assisting deputies, circling above and instructing people to stay inside their homes. Some revelers were fleeing in multiple directions. Deputies only searched the car and did not enter the home. The party had mostly dispersed by the time deputies and a helicopter arrived. The five men and 17-year-old boy were arrested. Their booking information was not yet available.
