A Desert Hot Springs man is facing charges after allegedly driving while intoxicated with his dog in the car and leading the police on a chase until he was forced to stop by slamming into two pumps at a gas station.
Around 3:00 AM on July 15, a 24-year-old man was driving a 2019 Honda Civic with his dog in the vehicle. The man was allegedly driving well over the speed limit.
An officer from the Cathedral City Police Department was in the vicinity, and they noticed the allegedly speeding Civic as it reportedly was driven through a red light. The officer attempted to perform a traffic stop.
