A man was taken into custody after leading authorities on a brief pursuit that ended in a crash and a standoff with police in Pomona Sunday night, officials said.
The chase began just before 9:15 p.m. as police pursued a driver for a traffic violation, according to the Pomona Police Department.
The pursuit ended in a traffic collision with other vehicles around Third Street and White Avenue, officials said.
