Police officers from the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation in California helped arrest two federal parole violators and a third person who were in possession of guns and drugs.

Tribal officers noticed the offenders on the reservation after being alerted by the U.S. Marshals Service. When the officers attempted to arrest the pair outside the tribal casino, they fled in a vehicle with a third person.

The officers pursued the car off the reservation, where it struck three other vehicles. A large amount of methamphetamine was later found in the car.

State and county officers eventually arrested the three people, who had fled the crash scene on foot. One of the convicts was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer.
