The subsequent standoff lasted for hours and ended only when police fired tear gas into the car and pulled Lopez out, officials said. He hit at least two cars and injured one driver as he drove in and out of traffic toward Anaheim on the 91 Freeway, authorities said. He faces up to seven years in prison on the current charges, prosecutors said. Instead of stopping, Lopez sped off, prosecutors said. He was allegedly carrying drugs and the car had been rented to someone else, authorities said.
