Los Angeles -- Thought he was smooth. 😭😭

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to a call of a domestic violence kidnapping call in an unincorporated South LA neighborhood around 8 p.m. When deputies spotted the suspect vehicle, the suspect drove off, prompting a pursuit. At one point during the chase, a female passenger got out of the suspect's white Dodge muscle car. LASD did not specify the female passenger's involvement in the crime or if she was a victim. The suspect continued driving as LASD dropped the pursuit due to the suspect driver's high speeds and erratic driving. CHP picked up the chase as the suspect got on the freeway. The suspect eventually got out of the car in Gardena, running on foot before authorities placed him into custody. At one point during the foot chase, the suspect tried to jump on the back of a moving semi-truck. Officials have not released the identity of the chase suspect.

San Diego Police Department: We thank everyone who has reached out to us sending their thoughts and prayers to not only us but more importantly the Sisto family. They greatly appreciate the outpouring support the community has shown.

“Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind… Or forgotten”

Langer’s is located on S. Alvarado Street in Los Angeles.

Many Americans would agree that Super Bowl Sunday is not complete without some tasty chicken wings.

Hotville Chicken is already selling out of chicken wings and sandwiches before the game even begins.
