Police Arrest Parolee-at-Large After High-Speed Chase
Police in Boyle Heights arrested a parolee-at-large after a chase, which ended in a crash. According to an article in the Pasadena Star News, Lepoldo Monarrez, 28, of Los Angeles was arrested on suspicion of felony evading, resisting arrest and being a parolee-at-large.
The incident reportedly began when an officer pulled over Monarrez’s GMC Denali sport utility vehicle in the 300 block of South Garfield Avenue in Monterey Park. Officials said Monarrez did not have a driver’s license and drove off when the officer went back to his patrol car to look up some information. What followed was a high-speed chase, which ended in Boyle Heights when Monarrez crashed into a parked car. He tried to flee on foot, but was caught by officers.

It could have a particularly high impact when a person has a prior criminal record and prior “strikes.” According to California’s “three strikes law,” a person faces life in prison for the rest of his life if he commits a “third strike.”
