Michael Brown, 47, was arrested on suspicion of a felony by evading arrest and felony driving under the influence, said Officer John Lutz of the Newhall CHP station.

CHP West L.A. officers began pursuit of a silver Mercedes Benz weaving through traffic at a high rate of speed around 2:17 a.m., Lutz said. Los Angeles Police Department officers followed Brown in a helicopter.

The chase moved into the San Fernando Valley area around 2:30 a.m., when CHP West Valley took over the pursuit, Lutz said. CHP Newhall officers assumed responsibility when the suspect came to the northbound Interstate 5-405 connector.

“The subject proceeded at a speed above 105 mph on the I-405,” Lutz said. “He continued northbound onto the SR-14 and through various streets in the city of Santa Clarita.”

CHP officers deployed a spike strip on Magic Mountain Parkway, west of Town Center Drive in Valencia, around 3 a.m., he said. The suspect drove over the spike strip but continued to the SCV Sheriff’s Station parking lot where he parked in a parking space and was arrested.

Brown is being held on $200,000 bail at the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles.
