ANAHEIM, Calif. — A short high-speed chase that began Saturday in a McDonald’s drive-through in Stanton ended after authorities hit the suspect’s vehicle and shot and wounded the driver, authorities said.
The incident began when deputies were dispatched shortly after 3 a.m. to a McDonald’s near the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Katella Avenue, said Lt. Joe Balicki of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. A man was reported to be passed out in his vehicle in the drive-through lane, he said.
The suspect was “extremely intoxicated” and “became uncooperative” when approached by deputies, Balicki said.
The suspect fled from the parking lot and struck a deputy’s marked patrol vehicle, Balicki said. He drove north on Beach Boulevard and turned onto Ball Road, Balicki said.
Deputies stopped the man’s vehicle by striking its back quarter panel, causing it to spin out, near the intersection of Ball and Gilbert Street in Anaheim, Balicki said.
One deputy fired at the suspect, who was struck, said Sheriff’s Capt. Steve Doan. The man sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital, Doan said. Once the suspect is released from the hospital, he will be taken to Orange County Jail, Doan said.

Let's see you get out there and do a police officers job. Until you do shut up. It's easy toMonday morning quarterback. Any monkey can do it, even you.

Hey stupid idiot, if you would have got all the facts you might have thought otherwise. Oh wait, your not that smart to gather all info before opening your big mouth. By the the. DUMBASS, that suspect who the deputy fired at, rammed his patrol vehicle twice, that's 2 times for your information. That's assault with a deadly weapon, so any officer is within his rights to shoot at him. Too bad he didn't ram you twice, it might have knocked some loose marbles in your head to some sense.
Of course your probably one of the stupid DUMBASSES who supported Dorner. He was no better than what you believe LAPD did. As a matter of fact, he was worse than LAPD. I'm glad they fired him. I sure as hell wouldn't want a lunatic like that on any police force.
February 23, 2013 at 9:32 PM
So DUMBASS because he allegedly rammed the cop car thats grounds for the cop to shoot from a moving car even though bullets travel far and could have hit an innocent bystander? Just like those poor ladies that got shot up because they were driving a blue pickup truck? GTFO cops are stupid not all but most..

Really a deputy opened fire, sheeat, I dont believe it, this is California, well land of the fruits and nuts, most of em in law inforcement
February 23, 2013 at 4:48 PM
Wrong you are, the fruits are in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and spread out through society, some are in in law enforcement. Nuts and criminals are everywhere and should be severely dealt with.

They failed to say that the officers broke into his vehicle by breaking windows. startling the driver.
February 23, 2013 at 4:06 PM
That's how you remove an uncooperative dangerous suspect from a vehicle. It's common sense.
February 23, 2013 at 4:01 PM
nothing more frustrating than having to watch a 31 second commercial before a 24 second sound bite!
February 23, 2013 at 4:36 PM
I never watch the annoying auto start videos. More to topic, notice how these thugs always drive some POS GM or Ford SUV?
February 23, 2013 at 4:44 PM
Best way I know to end these very dangerous pursuits, shoot the driver on sight.
