The chase went back and forth between high and low speeds, freeways and surface streets.

After blowing through stop signs and intersections, the driver's car spun out when he tried to avoid a spike strip. A man, bald and wearing a baby blue shirt, then fled on foot, hopped fences and ran through backyards of homes.

The man, momentarily chased by a dog, began to run with his hands in the air. He then jumped onto what looked like a pool cover, where he laid on his stomach with his arms spread.
