A woman was arrested after the chase with the policeman at 710 Freeway due to a pending animal abuse case. On the other hand, after the chase, her dog hopped out of her car and ran all over the California freeways.
According to Los Angeles Times, a prosecutor informed that Tiffini Tobe, a 47-year-old woman, parked her Mercedes-Benz on the shoulder of the 91 Freeway, a little bit near Buena Park. She fell asleep and the California Highway Patrol officers noticed her car, then they tried to wake her up about 8:15 p.m. on Monday, Jan.18. When the CHP officers ordered her to get out of the car, instead of abiding with the CHP's command, she refused and drove off the freeway, leading the authorities to chase her car that reached the speed of up to 90 mph.
According to ABC News, the quest ended when a CHP vehicle cornered her Mercedes sideways on Interstate 710 in Long Beach. Upon opening the door of her car, Tobe's pit bulls hopped out and ran all over the freeway lanes. The dogs were brought to Long Beach Animal Care Services and luckily, all six pit bulls appeared to be in good condition.
Tobe appeared in court on Wednesday, Jan. 20, in relation with the chase and pleaded not guilty to several charges such as driving under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, a misdemeanor count was charged against her in line with keeping an animal without giving proper care after one of her pit bulls was seen with an injury in June 2015.
It was found out that the dog chewed off its own leg as posted on a news report from the Herald Courier. Thus, she failed to show up at a hearing in line with the case in July. She was later arrested by the La Habra Police Department. After arranging the bail, the judge ordered to ban her from taking care of animals while she is out of the police custody.
