An effort to stop the driver of a vehicle which had been reported stolen led to a tense standoff which closed a section of Highway 101 in Ventura County during the morning commute.
It started at around 8:30 a.m. Thursday, when a CHP officer on patrol spotted the vehicle on the southbound 101 in Ventura.
Other officers also starting following the car. They pulled it over near Camarillo Springs Road.
They say the driver refused to leave the vehicle. Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies were called in to help. They brought a K-9, which led to the man surrendering. The incident disrupted traffic on the Conejo Grade for about a half hour.
