On the above date and time, Ventura Police Officers responded to a domestic disturbance in the 100 Block of Evergreen Dr. Before officers arrived, the disturbing party, Gloria Kapp, was reported to be driving erratically in the area.

The pursuit was terminated as Kapp entered the Ventura College Campus. Officers remained in the area of the college and observed Kapp stop on West Campus Way. Officers positioned their police vehicles to block Kapp’s vehicle and prevent her from continuing due to several pedestrians in the area.

There were no injuries to any officers.
