The following information was released by Cypress Police Department.
On April 29, at approximately 10:23 a.m., a Cypress Patrol Officer attempted to stop a vehicle that was leaving the parking lot of the Cypress Suites Motel at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle in question made two quick turns and drove down a cul-de-sac located near Via Arroyo and Holder in an apparent attempt to elude the officer.
As the vehicle came to a stop, the driver jumped out and fled the scene on foot. A female passenger remained in the vehicle and was taken into custody moments later without incident.
After a brief search of the surrounding neighborhood, the driver who fled the vehicle was located walking on the sidewalk a few blocks away. He also was taken into custody without incident.
During the ensuing investigation, it was determined that the vehicle was a reported stolen vehicle out of the City of Whittier.
