A man accused of stealing a lime-green
taxi and leading police on a two-hour pursuit through Inglewood and South
Los Angeles could face several charges, police said Monday.
Derrick Bogar, 36, was arrested Friday
afternoon when an armored SWAT vehicle performed a "pursuit
intervention technique" -- or PIT maneuver -- and stopped the taxi at
103rd and Alameda streets in Watts, Los Angeles police said.
It was only the second time the
department had used its armored vehicles to perform a PIT maneuver, police
officials said Monday.
Bogar was arrested on suspicion of
carjacking but could face other charges such as reckless driving and evading
police, said Lt. Louis Paglialonga, who is investigating the incident.
Paglialonga said part of the ongoing investigation would include a review of
the television footage that captured the chase.
Online jail records showed Bogar was
scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
