arrested and taken into custody. The Monrovia Police Department would like to remind
the public of the danger and consequences of driving under the influence. Not only are
you putting your life in danger, but you put the life of others in danger when you choose
to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. If you see a driver that appears to be driving
under the influence, call 911 and report their location to police.

in a vehicle, but was apprehended by officers on the 605 Freeway at Arrow Highway.
Officers arrived at the residence and discovered that a 13-year-old female had been
strangled by her father, after he became upset with her for not helping with housework.
The child sustained injuries. The father was arrested for child abuse and taken into
custody. Paramedics responded and examined the child and the Los Angeles County
Department of Children and Family Services was notified.

responding, the family reported that the subject had fled the home in a white vehicle.
The vehicle was located and the subject was detained. He was not determined to be

bail set at $300,000 for assault, which was a Monrovia case. The suspect was arrested.
