On the above date/time, Oxnard Police officers were investigating a possible robbery with a firearm that occurred in the area of Bonita Avenue and Colonia Avenue. They observed a white Nissan Sentra that matched the description of the suspect vehicle involved in the crime, and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The Sentra failed to yield and officers pursued the vehicle until the pursuit was cancelled for safety reasons. After, the Sentra collided with a parked vehicle and a police unit in the area of Seventh and F Streets. The only injury as a result of the collision was a complaint of pain to the driver of the Sentra. The male juvenile passenger of the Sentra was found to be in possession of a loaded shotgun. After a medical clearance, the driver of the Sentra was arrested for evading and the juvenile was lodged in Juvenile Hall for possession of the shotgun. The initial call of a robbery was not confirmed.
