A man was taken into custody Saturday in Valencia after allegedly failing to stop for Burbank police officers.

Around 10:20 p.m. Saturday, a Burbank Police officer conducted a traffic stop near Keystone Street and Scott Road after a vehicle was observed breaking several traffic laws, said Sgt. Brent Fekety, spokesperson for the Burbank Police Department.

“The driver failed to yield and continued to drive recklessly through a residential neighborhood,” Fekety said. “The officer disengaged and did not pursue the driver.”

The suspect eventually entered the northbound 5 Freeway and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) was notified, according to Fekety.

“Burbank Police officers followed from a distance until CHP officers arrived and conducted a traffic stop as the driver exited Interstate 5 at Magic Mountain Parkway,” Fekety said.

The driver yielded and was taken into custody.

Christopher Guerrero, 34, from Burbank was arrested and booked for reckless driving, a misdemeanor, and reckless evading of a police officer, a felony, Fekety said.

Guerrero has since bonded out and is due to appear in court on July 7, 2023.
