In 2015, a bizarre slow-speed chase ended peacefully when a pedestrian stepped into traffic forcing the driver to surrender. A man in a Ford Mustang had a sign on the driver's side door that read "Victory Parade" as he led police on a ten mph pursuit in the western San Fernando Valley. He flashed victory signs and waved and saluted at bystanders on sidewalks as he wove in and out of traffic while police followed along Ventura Boulevard. The pursuit ended when an onlooker stepped into the path of the car. The driver came out with his hands up. He faces a misdemeanor charge of evading arrest. Police said he has a history of mental illness, and they believe he was having a "crisis." The man who stopped the chase was detained by police, but later released.
