Long Beach police arrested two men suspected of driving under the influence in separate incidents around 10 a.m. this morning.

In the first incident, police started pursuing a driver in the area of Hellman Street and Walnut Avenue at about 10 a.m. after they suspected the driver was intoxicated, Sgt. Alvino Herrera said.

“During the pursuit, the male adult driver stopped the vehicle and ran into a residence officers believed he was familiar with,” Herrera said.

The passenger in the vehicle, a woman, stayed in the vehicle and was taken into custody, he said.

Police arrested the man without incident after they formed a perimeter around the home in the 1700 block of Gardenia Avenue and called him out.

A separate suspected DUI crash on Cherry Avenue and Fourth Street is unrelated, he said.

In that incident, two vehicles crashed at about 10:05 a.m. When police got there, they found a car flipped over with the driver still inside.

The officers helped the driver out of the car and called paramedics for his injuries, but he refused medical attention at the scene, Herrera said.

He was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
