OC Chase Leads to DUI Arrest
Scott Balbirnie, 39, led officers on a chase through three Orange County cities before he was arrested for driving under the influence.
According to the OC Register, the Long Beach man was driving erratically on Beach Boulevard and Westminster Boulevard when officers tried to pull him over at 3am. Balbirnie did not stop and took officers on a chase through Huntington Beach and Westminster, before coming to a stop in Seal Beach. Officers asked Balbirnie to exit the vehicle but instead, the driver refused and officers used the bean-bag round to break his window. The male driver proceeded to resist and end up punching the K-9 who then began biting him. Once officers used a Taser to get the driver into custody, they realized that he was nude from the waist down. Balbirnie was treated for dog bites before he was booked at the Orange County Jail for driving under the influence, drug possession, drug use and assaulting a police dog.
