Two suspected gang members are being treated at a local trauma center for injuries sustained in a crash after a police pursuit.
Fullerton Police Sgt. Andrew Goodrich said that just after 2am (October 6), a Fullerton Police officer saw a white 4-door Cadillac driving on Harbor Blvd. with no tail lights. The officer attempted to stop the car, but the vehicle fled eastbound on Orangefair and into the Lowe’s parking lot.
Once in the empty lot, the driver drove in circles and then back onto Lemon, turning south. The car continued south, eventually losing control and crashing into a building at 336 S. Anaheim Blvd. in Anaheim. The pursuit lasted less than three minutes. The traffic collision is being investigated by the Anaheim Police Department.
The driver was Ryan William Booker, 22, of Tustin. He was transported to a local trauma center with critical injuries. The passenger was Enrique Cervantes, 21, of Orange. He was transported to a local trauma center with serious injuries.
Both are on parole, are documented gang members from the City of Orange, and are in police custody at this time.
Information related to possible identity theft or fraud was located in the vehicle and is being investigated by Fullerton Police detectives.
Anyone with information about Booker or Cervantes is asked to call Detective Robert Barnes of the Fullerton Police Department at (714) 738-6786, or the Department’s front desk at (714) 738-6716. ### |
