IT WAS ANYTHING BUT A ROUTINE ARREST FOR SOME BCSO DEPUTIES MONDAY MORNING. THEY HAD BEEN CALLED TO SAN BERNADINO AND TRAMWAY IN RESPONSE TO REPORTS OF A SUSPICIOUS MAN IN THE AREA. THAT’S WHEN THEY CAME ACROSS 34 YEAR OLD KEVIN ESTRADA. UNDERSHERIFF RUDY MORA. SAYS ESTRADA INITIALLY WAS COMPLIANT BUT BECAME COMBATIVE WITH THE DEPUTIES ENDING IN A KNOCK-DOWN-DRAG-OUT FIGHT.
DURING THAT FIGHT ESTRADA GAINED CONTROL OF A DEPUTY’S TASER WHICH ALLOWED HIM TO GET IN A DRIVE OFF IN A BCSO UNIT. THE PURSUIT LASTED ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND ENDED WHEN HE CRASHED. HE WAS EVENTUALLY TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
ESTRADA FACES NUMEROUS FELONY CHARGES INCLUDING AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.
