I tried finding an article but couldn't. (went foxnews.com, google, cnn couldn't find it).

Anyone know how long it lasted and how they caught him?

Anyone know where there are any news about it articles?

The anchor on fox news said that the police didn't want much media attention for car chases to try to reduce them. Good Ole media doing its job. (This might be why there aren't any articles).

And on the intersting side of things, LAPD don't use spike strips.

Yeah.....it's not like you can actually drive in LA unless you find a nice parking lot to drive around in a circle. The freeway is always gridlock.
