La Puente Man Arrested After Barricading Himself Inside Vehicle at San Dimas Shopping Center9/8/2021 Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN DIMAS – A driver was taken into custody September 4 after initially refusing to exit his vehicle for California Highway Patrol officers who tried to detain him for allegedly brandishing a weapon.
Christian Raygoza, 27, was arrested after surrendering himself to CHP officers in the parking lot shared by Bank of the West, 614 N. Lone Hill Ave., and Olive Garden, 582 N. Lone Hill Ave. Officers followed him after reports of a man driving recklessly and brandishing a weapon, according to Rodrigo Jimenez of the California Highway Patrol. Raygoza was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. A toy dart gun was found inside his vehicle, Jimenez told SGV CityWatch. The reckless driving and weapon brandishing occurred on the westbound 210 freeway near Archibald Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga, Jimenez told SGV CityWatch. CHP officers located the driver of a 2009 Toyota Corolla as it exited Lone Hill Avenue in Glendora. CHP officers attempted a traffic stop with lights and sirens. The suspect stopped at the shopping center at the southeast corner of Lone Hill Avenue and Gladstone Street just before 7 p.m. “The officers instructed the suspect to exit his vehicle; however, the suspect refused to comply. Instead, the suspect stayed inside his vehicle and was seen on a video call using his cell phone,” Jimenez told SGV CityWatch. Raygoza eventually surrendered. Additional charges are pending, Jimenez told SGV CityWatch. Raygoza, a La Puente resident, was issued a citation and released the following morning. He is scheduled to appear at the West Covina Courthouse January 5, 2022, according to Los Angeles County booking records. |
