Man holding dog on lap leads police on bizarre golf cart chase in San Fernando Valley

The driver of a stolen golf cart led police on an unusual chase in the San Fernando Valley on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a report of a possibly stolen golf cart and assault with a deadly weapon shortly after 9 p.m. in the 18700 block of Ventura Boulevard.

The driver, who had a dog in their lap during the duration of the chase, refused to stop for police, leading to the bizarre, low-speed pursuit. With the golf cart's small size, the driver was able to weasel through police cruisers and evade officers.

Ultimately, however, the driver was cornered against a big rig parked in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven in Valley Glen. Officers were then able to arrest the driver and the dog may have been taken to Los Angeles County Animal Care.
