Break Cop's Nose? Battery + evasion with your San Diego DUI arrest

San Diego drunk driving criminal defense lawyers should warn clients not to run from or fight San Diego DUI police officers.

SAN DIEGO DUI news

San Diego Police officer got his nose broken in a fight with an alleged San Diego DUI driver trying to evade arrest for speeding.

A San Diego Harbor Police officer noticed a Jeep speeding southbound on Pacific Highway Monday.

The officer watched the Jeep come to a stop at Ash Street, then make a left turn onto Ash Street, allegedly running the red light.

The officer then attempted to stop the Jeep. A high-speed chase ensued through Mission Hills and Old Town, reaching speeds of 60 mph.

The pursuit ended when the suspect made a U-turn on Harney Street and collided with the pursuing cruiser. The suspect resisted arrest and during the struggle caused the injury to a San Diego Police Department officer who assisted with the San Diego DUI stop.

The driver was identified as 45-year-old Michael Hudon of San Diego. He was booked into the San Diego Central Jail Tuesday on suspicion of evasion, San Diego DUI and battery of a police officer.
