GLENDALE -- A high-speed chase Saturday night ended with a 25-year-old
man's arrest for evading a police officer, reckless driving and
possession of a deadly weapon, according to Glendale Police.
Chester Timbol, who is stationed at the Twenty-Nine Palms Marine Base,
was engaged in a high-speed race with another car at about 9 p.m.
Saturday when police pursued him, heading south on San Fernando Road in a
2001 Toyota sports car, Sgt. Dennis Smith said.
Timbol eluded one police car, but another police car caught up with
him at Brand Boulevard and Monterey Road.
Timbol was apprehended near Louise Street and Colorado Boulevard,
Smith said.
Timbol is being held in custody at Glendale City Jail, and is
scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, Smith said. The offenses carry a
minimum sentence of six months in county jail, Smith said. Police
records did not account for the other vehicle that was racing Timbor's
car.
