The man pulled up alongside another vehicle in El Cajon before 12:30 p.m., accused the occupants of following him and threatened them with a shotgun, police saidA motorist who allegedly pointed a gun at several people Monday while driving through El Cajon proceeded to lead police on a road chase that ended with his arrest following a brief standoff on the Coronado Bridge.
Daniel Santiago, 45, allegedly pulled up alongside another vehicle in the 400 block of Emerald Avenue shortly before 12:30 p.m., accused the occupants of following him and threatened them with a shotgun, according to the El Cajon Police Department.The victims reported the alleged crime, and a short time later, an officer spotted Santiago's truck on an entrance ramp to westbound Interstate 8 ramp from West Main Street and tried to conduct a traffic stop, ECPD Lt. Kevin Reilly said.
The suspect pulled over momentarily, then allegedly drove off, prompting a pursuit that wended its way into downtown San Diego.After driving onto the Coronado Bridge, Santiago pulled to a stop but initially refused to surrender, according to police. After about 10 minutes of negotiating with officers, however, he exited his truck and gave himself up, the lieutenant said.
