California police chase ends after woman drives car with dogs onboard into ocean (video)
A woman was apprehended after driving her car, with two dogs inside, into the Pacific Ocean near Venice Beach in an attempt to flee from officers, as reported by the California Highway Patrol.
39-year-old Jessica Reynolds from New Mexico was arrested early Sunday morning after she swam a considerable distance into the ocean and required rescue, according to an arrest report from the agency.
The California Highway Patrol had been pursuing a silver BMW that was wanted for speeding late Saturday night in Los Angeles.
"The pursuit entered the West Los Angeles Area at speeds of approximately 85 miles per hour," noted the arrest report. "The suspect exited at Jefferson Boulevard, and the pursuit continued through several city streets at speeds ranging from 35 to 65 miles per hour."
Ultimately, the woman drove to Venice Beach, where she navigated through a parking lot, onto the sand, and into the ocean. The arrest report mentioned that two Boston terriers were also in the vehicle during this incident.
Despite efforts to evade law enforcement, she swam a significant distance before being rescued by the Marina Sheriff Department and U.S. Coast Guard, according to the report.
The woman was taken into custody early Sunday and transported to a hospital for treatment. Animal control took custody of the two dogs following their rescue, as stated in the report.
CHP spokesperson Steven Salas indicated that she may face charges related to speeding and eluding authorities. It's unclear at this time if she has legal representation.
Law enforcement successfully retrieved the BMW from the ocean on Sunday, according to Salas.
