When officers arrived, they located a subject who reported that an unknown male had threatened to stab him with a screw driver and stole the victim’s car. The suspect then lost control of the car and crashed into a pole a short distance away.
The suspect then attempted to assault another person before fleeing the area on foot. Officers located the suspect a few blocks away from where the incident started.

These are accusations and Pena is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
