Fresno Police stopped a suspected drunk driver and car thief who was weaving in and out of traffic on Blackstone Avenue and McKinley near Fresno City College.

The man behind the wheel of a stolen SUV was driving erratically.

When officers tried to pull him over, he sped off.

They used a PIT maneuver, hitting his car with their cars to stop the driver.

Danyell Farino narrowly avoided being hit by the drunk driver. "It was scary. It was scary. I mean, he would've...he would've ran me off the road...I mean, he would've literally ran into me if I hadn't swerved off to the side of the road,” Farino said. 

Police say the driver is on parole for felony drunk driving. He was taken into custody.

He had a passenger in the car. The passenger was also on parole. He was detained as well.
