The police responded to the takeover, which had been taking place in the parking lot, and arrested at least one individual. The incident was captured on body camera footage.
Santa Ana Police officers arrived at the scene to find a large group of vehicles gathered in the lot. After repeatedly instructing the drivers to disperse, the situation escalated when one driver began performing dangerous “donuts” in the parking lot.
