Smith allegedly led officers on a brief pursuit Monday night from Lone Hill Avenue and the westbound Interstate 210 freeway. Smith is accused of stealing merchandise from Walmart, 1950 E. Auto Centre Dr.
Smith sped along the freeway, exited at Sunflower Avenue and fled on foot at Essex Street and Sunflower. Police ended their search after being unable to find Smith.
It was still unclear if Smith was found to be in possession of any stolen merchandise.
Smith’s initial court appearance is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, at the West Covina Courthouse.
