Police said this was shortly after they got a call about a man pointing a gun at a driver. An officer quickly found the suspect’s car.
“The car took off, initiating the pursuit,” said Msgt. Gary Knight. “After a short while, the officer terminated the pursuit. Because he felt the conditions were getting too dangerous.”
After the chase was called off, police said the car crashed through the restaurant. The four people inside scattered.
“All fled. Three of them were taken into custody. All three were juveniles,” said Knight.
