“Las Vegas Man Rams 2 Police Cars and Crashes into Wall in Stolen Vehicle: Terry Luna Arrested”

Accident – Death – Obituary News : LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A Las Vegas resident is now facing multiple charges after allegedly crashing a stolen vehicle into a wall and ramming into a patrol car, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Terry Luna was apprehended and now faces charges of possessing a stolen vehicle and driving under the influence (DUI).

The incident occurred on January 5, around 3:30 p.m., in the 3500 block of East Lake Mead Parkway near Pecos Road. Law enforcement received a report of a stolen vehicle, specifically a 2017 Hyundai Accent with Nevada license plates. The stolen vehicle was later spotted at the back of an apartment complex, concealed by a tarp.

Upon arrival at the scene, officers successfully located the stolen car as described by the caller. To their surprise, they found a man sleeping in the driver’s seat with a screwdriver in the ignition, according to the police report. Realizing the urgency of the situation, the officers promptly called for additional units to aid in the recovery of the stolen vehicle.

When the backup officers arrived, they approached the vehicle and activated its engine. However, in a reckless attempt to flee the scene, the suspect struck a patrol car and a garbage bin before speeding away. The windshield of the stolen vehicle remained obstructed by the tarp throughout the entire chaotic ordeal.

In an unfortunate turn of events, the suspect crashed into a wall and subsequently abandoned the stolen car. Witnesses in the vicinity reported hearing a loud crash before observing the suspect fleeing on foot, jumping over the very wall he had just collided with in an attempt to escape. However, the police were not far behind and managed to apprehend the suspect hiding under nearby mattresses in an open lot close to the crash site.

Further investigation revealed that Luna had previously been convicted four times for various offenses between 2011 and 2018. His previous charges included reckless driving, attempted possession of a stolen vehicle, and owning or possessing a firearm as a prohibited person.

Following the incident, Luna was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation, where he was cleared of any injuries. Subsequently, he was transported to the Clark County Detention Center to face the charges brought against him. The charges Luna currently faces include possession of burglary tools, possession of a stolen vehicle, failure to stop upon signal of peace officers, ownership or possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, DUI, and disobeying a peace officer, thereby endangering other individuals or property.
