NORTHWEST GLENDALE -- A 21-year-old Glendale man who allegedly
broadsided a car while trying to evade police, was arrested Tuesday
following a foot chase.
Allen Shakvaladyan was arrested on suspicion of felony evading and
felony hit-and-run, Glendale Police Sgt. Kirk Palmer said.
Shakvaladyan was being held Tuesday in the Glendale City Jail on
$80,000 bail. He faces additional charges for allegedly tossing a loaded
gun into some bushes, Palmer said.
Police attempted to stop Shakvaladyan for a vehicle code violation
near Pacific Avenue and California avenues about 2 p.m.
The driver failed to pull over and later collided with another car
near the intersection of Fairmount and San Fernando Road. The occupants
of the other car were not seriously injured, Palmer said.
Shakvaladyan got out of his car and ran away, Palmer said. He was
tackled about 100 yards away by Officer John Harrison, Palmer said.
