The suspect was an unlicensed driver and fled police at high speed westbound on surface streets from Glendora to San Marino where he struck a light pole. The suspect refused to stop for officers on westbound Route 66 at Pasadena Avenue around 1 a.m. November 28. The officer tried to stop the driver who was running red lights, according to Sgt.

The driver stopped briefly at Huntington Drive and Sunset Boulevard in Arcadia, but took off again west on Huntington Drive at a high rate of speed, Layaye told SGV CityWatch. The driver, the only person in the vehicle, crashed into a light pole at the northwest corner of Waverly Road and Huntington Drive in San Marino.

Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor GLENDORA - A naked transient was taken into custody October 29 after somehow entering an apartment unit to take a shower, police said Monday.
Two female college students awoke to find a naked Jesse Alexander Hunter showering in their apartment at Avalon Glendora, 121 E. Route 66 around 5:42 a.m. Police responded in 91 seconds, but the metal front door was locked — a naked Hunter blocked one victim from escaping a bedroom, according to the Glendora Police Department. “The victim forced her way past the suspect and was able to open the front door for the officers. The suspect was then immediately taken into custody,” Glendora Police said in a written statement. The female victims told officers they have no idea how Hunter entered their apartment and never met him before, Glendora Police said. Hunter, 38, is a registered sex offender on Post Release Community Supervision. He told officers he arrived to Glendora by bus and had no other reason to be in town. He also had a no-bail violation of PRCS at the time of his arrest, Glendora Police said. Hunter’s case was filed with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which filed two counts of burglary, one count of attempted rape and one count of providing false information to an officer. Hunter is being held without bail. He faces a possible maximum of nearly 23 years in prison if convicted as charged. Anyone with any information on Hunter is urged to call Glendora Police Investigations Bureau Sergeant Michael Henderson at 626-914-8281, or email mhenderson@glendorapd.org |
