A short pursuit led to a standoff in a Diamond Bar neighborhood.

DIAMOND BAR, Calif. - A man who led Orange County sheriff's deputies on a chase from Yorba Linda to Diamond Bar was arrested Wednesday after a standoff, authorities said.

According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, deputies observed the suspect driving a red sedan erratically just after 2:30 a.m. Deputies attempted to stop the "possible DUI" suspect. However, the suspect failed to yield and a brief pursuit began.

A SWAT team and K9 unit were called to the scene.

By 7 a.m., the suspect surrendered.
