Fresno, CA - The sound of a car crashing through backyards and gunfire frightened neighbors in east central Fresno on June 1.

But police say the incident started back on May 30, after officers pulled a car over near Butler and Hazelwood.

The passenger cooperated, but the driver, 23-year-old Andrew Garcia, did not and drove away.

Officers learned that Garcia was on parole and had a pending warrant.

On June 1, they found Garcia's car in front of a home on Turner and Sierra Vista.

Garcia refused to go outside and pushed out a window to escape.

As he walked through several backyards, an officer spotted Garcia with a gun.

''I have eyes on him. He just said something from his waistband. It's a black, looks like a black handgun, right hand," a Fresno Police officer said.

Officers created a perimeter to prevent Garcia from escaping.

He then went to his car and started driving through neighboring yards.

Garcia refused to comply with commands, and that's when an officer opened fire.

''Let me see your hands. Let me see your hands! I got you right there. Gunshot, gunshot, gunshot, gunshot," a Fresno Police officer shouted.

Despite multiple shots taken, Garcia was not hit by gunfire.

He eventually parked the car in a backyard and talked with police during a lengthy standoff, eventually surrendering.

Officers found a replica gun near his car and he was arrested on multiple charges.

Garcia pleaded no contest on June 10.
