Man arrested following brief police chase in Menifee
Police arrested a man after a brief pursuit in Menifee on Friday. They were called to the 29000 block of Peacock Mountain Drive just after 8 a.m. after receiving reports of a man possibly armed with a gun in the area, according to the Menifee Police Department. Officers arrived and learned that the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Joe Felix Jr., was the subject of a court-issued restraining order that forbid him from being within 100 yards of the unidentified victim, police said. Police say that Felix Jr. left the scene prior to their arrival, but with help from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department aerial unit, they found him as he was traveling westbound on Newport Road towards Lake Elsinore. An unmarked unit began to follow his vehicle, while at the same time sheriff's units attempted to perform a traffic stop near Railroad Canyon Road and the I-15 Freeway. Felix Jr. did not stop, however, prompting a pursuit to begin. As Felix Jr. began to drive back towards the victim's home in Menifee, officers used tire-deflation devices called stop sticks to deflate all four tires on his vehicle. He was arrested without further incident. No injuries were reported in the incident. Felix Jr. was booked on suspicion of a court order violation, evading a peace officer and having outstanding local warrants for vandalism and inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. He was being held in lieu of $50,000 and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, July 9.

New Details Revealed About ATV Crash That Killed Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner's Friend and Manager
Authorities believe that Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner's friend and manager, may have been speeding when she crashed an ATV in Malibu, Calif., and died Hutchins was pronounced dead on the morning of Wednesday, July 2, after rear-ending another car and falling more than 300 feet into a ravine "It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff," L.A. County Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo told the Daily MailNew details have emerged about the death of Sophia Hutchins — the manager and friend of Caitlyn Jenner. Speaking with the Daily Mail, Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Hutchins, 29, was speeding in an ATV when she rear-ended another vehicle in the mountains of Malibu, Calif., and fell over a cliff 350 feet to her death on the morning of Wednesday, July 2. Saucedo, who is based at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station, told the outlet that Hutchins is believed to have been traveling at a rapid speed on Decker Canyon Road, near Jenner's Malibu home, in a 2013 Polaris when she hit a gray 2016 Mazda 6. "It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff," Saucedo told the outlet. "It doesn't seem like she was following them. I think she just came up on them and then hit the car." Hutchins was pronounced dead on the morning of July 2, according to an initial report from TMZ. Saucedo said Hutchins tried to maneuver around the Mazda — which was being driven by a local realtor who was showing a house in the area — but was simply traveling too fast. "So it looked like she tried to maneuver to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there," he told the Daily Mail. The driver and passenger in the Mazda were uninjured, and Jenner was at the accident site while deputies were on the scene, Saucedo said. The sergeant added that investigators will not know whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident until the coroner's office prepares a toxicology report. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Saturday, July 5. Saucedo also told the Daily Mail that a search and rescue team rappelled down the side of the cliff to recover Hutchins' body, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The ATV was left at the bottom of the ravine because the tow company "didn't have a line that was long enough to attach it and pull it up." A longtime friend and business partner to Jenner, Hutchins served as CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation. The pair met in 2015 when Jenner announced her transition. They quickly bonded, with Hutchins later praising Jenner for pushing her to grow. Hutchins went on to appear in multiple episodes of Jenner's E! reality series I Am Cait.

'She challenges me in so many ways, has allowed me to grow in so many ways and I hope I challenge her to grow and I think because we share so many of the same passions and views, it's just a great match, a great partnership.' Born in 1996 in Bellevue, Wash., Hutchins graduated from Pepperdine University in 2019 with a degree in economics and finance, per Deadline. She also served as founder and CEO of health technology company LUMASOL. Read the original article on People
