At about 10:34 p.m. Wednesday police responded to 1420 20th Street, where Lopez was breaking windows at a residence, Gonzalez said.
When police arrived at the scene, police saw Lopez jump into a gray Chevrolet pick-up truck and drive away, even after police ordered him to stop.
Police activated their emergency lights and sirens, but Lopez refused to stop. He fled from the police at a high rate of speed, Gonzalez said.
They chased Lopez through Douglas, Pirtleville, and Highway 80 for about 30 minutes. The police also deployed spikes on the road, but Lopez avoided them.
Lopez stopped at the 2000 block of C Avenue, where he was taken into custody following a brief struggle. There, he was subdued with a taser gun.
Because Lopez was under the influence of alcohol, he was taken to Southeast Arizona Medical Center. He was then taken to the county jail.
Lopez was charged with unlawful flight from pursuing law enforcement, endangerment, aggravated DUI, possession of marijuana, criminal damage and disorderly conduct.

Maybe you should be locked up with him if you think he's a good person.
Way to go to ALL law enforcement that were involved! Once less crazy on the streets. "
