DUI suspect arrested after Los Angeles Police Department pursuit

A DUI suspect danced in front of officers after a pursuit through Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

The Los Angeles Police Department began the pursuit near the Mid-City area, but the woman led officers through Koreatown and into the Westlake District.

During the chase, the driver veered through lanes and made sudden, erratic turns while police were close behind.

The woman continued to evade police until driving into a busy parking lot near the intersection of S. Bonie Brae and W. 6th Streets. After realizing she was blocked in, the driver jumped out of the vehicle and started dancing in front of the police.
