NARRATIVE
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT:
On Thursday 01/23/2020 at approximately 1939 hours, I was on uniformed patrol, in a
marked PSPD patrol unit #15, for the City of Palm Springs, in the County of Riverside. I was
listening to the radio as Officer Colantuono was making at traffic stop and the driver of the
vehicle was refusing to stop the vehicle and a pursuit began. Officer Colantuono advised he
was northbound on south Sunrise Way, south of my location.
I responded to the area and Officer Colantuono advised via radio that the vehicle was
traveling against traffic and headed westbound on E. Baristo Rd. and that the driver of the
vehicle had exited the vehicle and fled into an open desert to the south. As I arrived at the
location of the vehicle stop at approximately 1940 hours, Officer Colantuono advised he
was physical with the suspect, and I observed the suspect's vehicle facing east in the center
of E. Baristo rd. facing Officer Colantuono's patrol vehicle with a female adult standing in
the open driver door of the vehicle with her hands in the air. I immediately detained the
female who later identified herself as ("") in handcuffs
without incident and escorted her to the north curb and told her to sit down.

SOURCE:
Self-Initiated Traffic Stop.
M.O/P.O.E:
Arrestee Johnnie Miguel FLORES-ROBLES was on active parole of 69 P.C.
FLORES-ROBLES drove a vehicle upon a roadway with willful and wanton disregard for the
safety of the public and property. FLORES-ROBLES committed 4 moving traffic violations
while evading police. FLORES-ROBLES fled the vehicle on foot failing to stop and comply
with lawful orders given by a uniformed Officer during the performance of his duties.
FLORES-ROBLES was also operating a motor vehicle upon a highway/roadway with a
suspended/revoked driver's license.
VICTIM'S STATEMENT:
State of California.
WITNESS' STATEMENT:
Officer Jimenez, Officer K. Morneau, Officer K. Merenda, and Officer M. Delaney were
on-scene and assisted with the investigation.
OFFICER'S STATEMENT:
On Thursday January 23, 2020 I was assigned uniformed swing shift patrol, driving a
marked PSPD patrol unit (48-17), in the City of Palm Springs within the County of Riverside.
At 1938 hours I was conducting routine patrol in the area of Compadre Road and East
Ramon Road which is also located in the City of Palm Springs, County of Riverside. While
driving westbound on East Ramon Road in the #2 lane of travel I observed a dark colored 4
door sedan (later identified as a Kia Optima Bearing California License Plate )
drive past me (westbound) at high rate of speed in the #1 lane of East Ramon Road in
violation of 22350 of the California Vehicle Code (Speed law). Upon seeing this I
maneuvered my marked patrol unit into the #1 lane of East Ramon Road and attempted to
conduct a lawful traffic stop by activating my overhead red and blue emergency lights.
Upon doing this the driver, later identified as Johnnie FLORES-ROBLES, increased his

speed and failed to yield for the traffic stop. FLORES-ROBLES continued to drive
westbound in the in the #1 lane of East Ramon Road at approximately 60+ miles per hour.
Determining FLORES-ROBLES was not going to stop I activated my sounding/audible siren
which was in good working order. FLORES-ROBLES continued to evade/flee at a high rate
of speed. It should be noted that East Ramon Road is a major thorough fare within the City
with a high volume of vehicular traffic.
FLORES-ROBLES continued westbound in the #1 of East Ramon Road as he approached
the controlled intersection of East Ramon Road and South Farrell Drive. The electronic
traffic signal was a solid circular red for both east and westbound traffic. FLORES-ROBLES
proceeded through the intersection, making no effort to stop or slow down in violation of
21453(a) of the California Vehicle Code. FLORES-ROBLES continued westbound in the #1
lane of East Ramon Road. As I provided radio updates to PSPD Dispatch, I noticed
FLORES-ROBLES was quickly approaching the controlled intersection of South Sunrise
Way and East Ramon Road. This is a busy intersection within the City with high volume of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In the area is a shopping center which consist of grocery
store, pharmacy, coffee shop, and restaurants. Prior to arriving at the intersection
FLORES-ROBLES merged from the #1 lane of East Ramon Road to the right turn pocket for
northbound travel on South Sunrise Way. FLORES-ROBLES failed to signal in violation of
22108 of the California Vehicle Code.
The electronic signaling device for east and westbound traffic of East Ramon Road at South
Sunrise Way was a solid circular red. FLORES-ROBLES proceeded to make his
northbound turning movement against the red light, again making no attempt or effort to
stop or slow his speed of travel in another violation of 21453(a) of the California Vehicle
Code.
FLORES-ROBLES traveled northbound in the #1 lane of South Sunrise Way approaching
the intersection of South Sunrise Way and Boys and Girls Club, which is controlled by an
electronic traffic signal. The light for both north and southbound traffic was a solid circular
red. There were two vehicles one in each the #1 and #2 lane of South Sunrise Way legally
stopped for the traffic signal. FLORES-ROBLES made an evasive maneuver to avoid

colliding into these stopped vehicles, entered the left (westbound) turn pocket, and
proceeded through the controlled intersection against the red traffic light. This was a
violation of 21453(a) of the California Vehicle Code.
After traveling through the intersection at a high rate of speed FLORES-ROBLES began
traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of traffic in violation of 21651(b) of the
California Vehicle Code. During this time of the evening and the location (South Sunrise
Way) there was a high volume of vehicle traffic. I observed at least 3 vehicle's traveling
southbound make abrupt turns to avoid colliding head-on with FLORES-ROBLES.
FLORES-ROBLES continued to drive on the wrong side of the road, at a high rate of speed
for approximately 673 feet. FLORES-ROBELES then approached the controlled intersection
of East Baristo Road and South Sunrise Way. The electronic traffic signal for both north and
southbound traffic was a solid circular red. FLORES-ROBLES proceeded through this
intersection, in violation of 21453(a) of the California Vehicle Code. FLORES-ROBLES once
again made no effort to slow or stop, showing his willful and wanton disregard for the safety
of the public and property.
FLORES-ROBLES continued westbound on East Baristo Road. FLORES-ROBLES began
slowing the vehicle down and opened the driver's side door. FLORES-ROBLES exited the
driver's side vehicle, as it was still traveling westbound, causing him to stumble and roll
multiple times along the asphalt. FLORES-ROBLES stopped himself from any further rolling,
sprang to his feet, and with his left middle finger, "Flipped," myself and Officer K. Morneau
off as he proceeded to run southbound into a dark vacant desert lot posing an Officer Safety
risk.
At this point in the investigation, I had yet been able to provide PSPD Dispatch with a
vehicle's license plate. I had no knowledge or information if this vehicle was stolen or used
during the commission of a violent crime. I had no knowledge of the driver or knowledge if
he was wanted and or armed.
Fearing for public's safety due to the two residential communities on both the east and west

of the desert lot, and the shopping complex to the south I chased after FLORES-ROBLES,
on foot, yelling at him multiple times, "Stop Police." FLORES-ROBLES failed to stop, yelled
back at me, "Fuck You!" and continued running southbound further into the desert. This
caused me great concern due to my limited visibility, and the fact the FLORES-ROBLES
had yet to be searched.
As the foot chase continued I was able to catch up with FLORES-ROBLES in the southwest
corner of the desert lot. I yelled to FLORES-ROBLES, "Show me your hands!" which he
refused. I then wrapped my arms around FLORES-ROBELS' upper torso near his rib area.
Due to my forward moving momentum and the area in which I grabbed him, both
FLORES-ROBLES and I fell to the desert ground. FLORES-ROBLES fell onto his left side
as I maintained his right side and partial upper back control. Once on the ground
FLORES-ROBLES continued to move around. I yelled to FLORES-ROBLES to stop
resisting but FLORES-ROBLES refused and continued to move his arms around. This
caused me to believe FLORES-ROBLES was attempting to retrieve a weapon to use
against me or free himself from my grasp in an attempt to further complete his escape.
With this fear in my mind and the fact the FLORES-ROBLES still had not been searched
and the location in which the struggle ensued was extremely dark, I began thinking about
the force options to employ to safely and effectively place FLORES-ROBLES in-custody.
I thought about the use of my Oleoresin Capsicum (O.C.) spray but due to the close
proximity in which FLORES-ROBLES and I were in the O.C. spray would have only caused
further complications while trying to affect the arrest. I thought about the use of my baton,
but this would cause me to have to lose my already maintained control of
FLORES-ROBLES. I thought about the use of my Taser, but again I would have had to
released control of FLORES-ROBLES, get to about 10-15 feet away to have the Taser be
properly effective.
After going through a multitude of less than lethal force options, based upon my body
control, and my past training in Brazilian jiu jitsu, and FLORES-ROBLES' physical and
violent behavior I determined the safest and most effective way to affect the arrest was to

place FLORES-ROBLES into our department approved carotid control hold which I have
been successfully trained, tested on, and implemented in the field.
I began to maneuver my body, by using my legs to gain full control of FLORE-ROBLES'
back. Once I had back control I slide my right arm up towards FLORES-ROBLES' neck. I
placed my right bicep on FLORES-ROBLES' right carotid artery. I bent my arm at the elbow
to allow FLORES-ROBLES' chin to sit properly within the crease. Once in this position I
pulled my arm into my body so that my right forearm applied pressure to FLORES-ROBLES
left carotid artery. Once I felt this was properly applied I grabbed a hold of my left bicep with
my right hand, palm down, and crossed my left arm behind FLORES-ROBLES head. I then
began applying equal pressure in attempts to stop the oxygenated blood to the brain.
As the proper application was applied I could feel FLORES-ROBLES' once firm, rigid, tense
body begin to loosing up. I noticed and felt FLORES-ROBLES' left arm which was attempt to
pull my right arm away fall to his chest. At this time I knew the carotid control hold was
successful and FLORES-ROBLES was rendered unconscious which took about 15
seconds. Once unconscious the carotid was released and FLORES-ROBLES was placed
into handcuffs. FLORES-ROBLES regained consciousness in about 3 to 5 seconds and was
talking, saying, "Okay I give up you got me." At this time Medical Aid and supervisor
notification were made pursuant to department policy. FLORES-ROBLES was placed into
custody pursuant to 2800.2(b) of the California Vehicle Code along with 148(a)(1) of the
California Penal Code.
Officer J. Jimenez arrived at my location at this time and took custody of FLORES-ROBLES.
FLORES-ROBLES was assisted to his feet and he was able to walk on his own power to

which returned to . Officer K. Merenda obtained a recorded statement from
about the incident. (See Officer Merenda's supplemental report for further).
Officer's on-scene searched the area in which FLORES-ROBLES traveled both on foot and
in the vehicle in an effort to locate any evidence which may have been discarded during his
attempt to escape which yielded negative results. A search of the vehicle was completed at
which time FLORES-ROBLES California Identification Card was located on the driver's seat.
A records check revealed FLORES-ROBLES had suspended/revoked driver's license for a
prior DUI. A further check revealed FLORES-ROBLES was on active CDC Parole for 69
P.C. FLORES-ROBLES was also listed as an at risk missing out of Indio Police Department
(Case #1909I-4526).
Officer J. Jimenez took digital photographs of the exterior and interior of the vehicle which
were later uploaded into the evidence computer at PSPD. Officer M. Delaney completed a
CHP 180 and towed the vehicle pursuant to 22651(h) of the California Vehicle Code. The
vehicle was towed to Mohica Tow yard.
FLORES-ROBLES was additional charged with of 14601.2(a) of the California Vehicle Code
as well as a parole hold pursuant to 3056 of the California Penal Code. I responded to
PSPD where I completed a probable cause declaration for the listed charges. Upon being
medically cleared FLORES-ROBLES was transported back to PSPD. With my audio/digital
recorder I contacted FLORES-ROBLES in holding cell "A," and read him his Miranda Rights,
via my statement of rights card, which I keep in my front right breast pocket verbatim.
FLORES-ROBLES understood his rights by saying, "Yes Sir." FLORES-ROBLES did not
wish to speak about the incident. The interview was stopped and no further questions were
asked. I took digital photographs of FLORES-ROBELS. As I was taking these photographs I
noticed FLORES-ROBLES had sustained small abrasion to the right side of his forehead
and cheek which would have been consistent with him rolling out of the moving vehicle.
These photographs were uploaded into the evidence computer at PSPD.
FLORES-ROBLES was subsequently transported to Smith Correctional Facility by
Transport Officer Ortiz without further incident. FLORES-ROBLES was also removed from
the Missing and Unidentified Persons System.
