Law enforcement in Vallejo, California, broke up a sideshow involving around 500 vehicles, leading to a police chase of a 2007 Cadillac CT6. The suspects inside the Cadillac were shining lasers at a California Highway Patrol helicopter, prompting a pursuit that ended in Hercules, California. After a nine-mile chase, the occupants abandoned the car, leaving behind a 10-foot python, which was returned to its owner. Four individuals were arrested, with the driver facing multiple charges including felony evasion, and the other three cited for misdemeanors. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of illegal street takeovers in California, which attract large crowds and can be dangerous. Despite zero-tolerance policies, these events continue to draw spectators, often resulting in further criminal activities and arrests.
