After the man exited the SUV, the woman looked to be shielding him from CHP officers who had weapons drawn.

The woman yelled at officers, standing firmly between them and the suspect. The suspect complied and was taken into custody, while the woman was handcuffed after a scuffle in which officers took her to the ground.



Two more people exited the SUV and were detained by authorities.



The incident began with L.A. County sheriff's deputies chasing the driver, a DUI suspect.
