Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) officers engaged in a nearly four hour-long standoff with a man suspected of stealing a car on April 5. The man, 29-year-old Daniel Allen of Santa Clarita, has now been charged with Felony Vehicle Evasion, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, and Resisting Arrest. According to court records, Allen has been convicted for other crimes, including robbery, burglary, and identity theft.
Patrol officers first got the call around 4:40 p.m. that a white sedan was reported stolen within Beverly Hills. The car led police in a brief high-speed chase in the area of Wilshire Boulevard and Camden Drive. The pursuit ended with a multi-car collision on Wilshire and Doheny that sent three individuals to a local hospital, including a pedestrian who was struck while crossing the sidewalk.
