Summary
A wild chase erupted in Sacramento when 28-year-old Isaac Paval allegedly stole a police cruiser, fired a rifle inside it, and sped 40 miles to Lodi before being caught. The incident began when officers responded to a vandalism call and Paval fled on foot — triggering the high-speed pursuit. Paval, already facing charges, now faces new felony counts including DUI and possession of an assault weapon. Authorities are investigating how he accessed the rifle, which was supposedly secured in the car. Former Sheriff John McGinnis noted officers often leave vehicles running for quick response — and suggested counseling might suffice for the officer involved if this was an isolated mistake. Paval returns to court Tuesday to face the new charges. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
