SALINAS, Calif. - Around 9:00 PM on Saturday, security guards at Northridge Mall noticed a heavily intoxicated man parked outside Old Navy, playing loud music.
The police attempted to detain 21 year old Jose Luis Rangel, and take his keys. The security guards placed the keys on the roof of his car, and encouraged him to call for a ride.
A struggle took place, and Rangel jumped back into the car, trying to speed away. In the process, he knocked both security guards to the ground, and one female officer sustained a head injury. She was life flighted to San Jose as a precaution.
Rangel was seen driving down North Main Street by a CHP helicopter, and was later found and arrested by Salinas Police.
He was booked on several charges, including Felony DUI, Felony Hit and Run, and Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
