A robbery suspect in a motorized wheelchair led police on a pursuit that weaved from Chula Vista to downtown San Diego.
Chula Vista Police say the suspect stole items from the Kmart in the 800 block of East H Street around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.
When someone confronted him in the parking lot, he brandished a handgun and took off in a maroon van with disabled plates, police said.
CVPD officers followed, trying to get him to pull over as he got onto I-805 north from East H Street.
The suspect led police on a chase over the freeway onto surface streets throughout Barrio Logan and downtown.
A spike strip blew out a tire on the man's van, but he continued until he reached the parking lot of the San Diego Police Department's headquarters.
Officers say they saw him load a gun and come out of the vehicle in his motorized wheelchair.

After the suspect sporting sunglasses failed to follow police commands, a K-9 unit was let loose on the suspect. Police then took him into custody without further incident.
Two loaded handguns alongside a pair of brass knuckles were found in the maroon van, the CVPD says.
