A Chula Vista man will serve jail time after being found guilty of street racing in San Diego, the City Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Manuel Guillins, 40, was convicted last week and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a year of probation over an incident that occurred in August 2022, the City Attorney’s Office stated.
The officers testified in court that Guillins’ car reached speeds of approximately 90 mph and veered between lanes. Officers also saw Guillins open his driver’s side door while he was accelerating. The dangerous combination of these Vehicle Code violations drew officers’ attention specifically to Guillins’ car, despite other vehicles participating in the speed contest.
“SDPD was proud to partner with the California Highway Patrol and the San Diego City Attorney’s Office in this case,” Sgt. Ampol said. “We are committed to holding accountable those who endanger the public with stunt driving and sideshow activities.”
