Tri-City Man One of Two Arrested Following Stolen Vehicle Pursuit

Pacifica police say they’ve arrested two people in the Pacific Manor neighborhood after a pursuit involving a stolen vehicle.

The pursuit began around 8:30 p.m. Monday when the vehicle failed to yield to police officers attempting to pull it over and instead exited state Highway 1 in the Sharp Park area, police said. It ended in the Pacific Manor area after the driver struck a curb and stopped the car.

The female driver, later identified as 19-year-old Benicia resident Jocelyn Burnett, was taken into custody without incident, police said.

The passenger, 20-year-old Tevaris Sweat, of Fremont, allegedly fled on foot and was captured after a pursuit with the help of a police dog.

Sweat was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, possession of a stolen vehicle and a felony no-bail arrest warrant on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Burnett was arrested on suspicion of felony evading police and possession of a stolen vehicle.
