The Beverly Hills Police Department made two arrests on July 25 after pursuing a vehicle into West Hollywood. The incident began at 2:38 in the afternoon, when officers noticed a white Mercedes sedan was being driven erratically and appeared to have incorrect license plates. The BHPD initiated a stop, but the driver of the vehicle failed to stop. Officers pursued the Mercedes into West Hollywood city limits, where it came to a stop in the vicinity of Sunset Boulevard and Doheny Drive.
After the occupants fled on foot, the BHPD was able to apprehend and arrest two of them. According to BHPD spokesperson Lt. Kevin Orth, the BHPD is still investigating to determine if there are additional outstanding suspects.
Arrested were Ahmeen Stevenson, 18, and Armon Brinson, 22, both of Oakland. They were charged with Vehicle Code section 2800.2(a)-fleeing or eluding a pursuing police officer and Penal Code section 148(a)(1)- resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer in the performance of duties. Additionally, said Orth, Stevenson had an outstanding felony warrant.
