Instead of pulling over, the driver began to drive recklessly, at times "onto the sidewalk," police said. 

Eventually, the vehicle stopped a short distance away on East Flamingo Road and South Koval Lane. Authorities then treated the incident "as a barricade situation."

Several minutes later, the department tweeted the suspect was taken into custody. No injuries were reported.

US companies work to ramp up domestic rare earth manufacturing

China has dominated the Rare Earth Element supply chain for decades. The U.S. is working to build out its own facilities, using more environmentally friendly manufacturing.

Newsom was met with outrage earlier this month from Christians who took offense when his gubernatorial campaign erected billboards in states where abortion is outlawed or restricted, urging women in such states to come to California to abort their babies. Some versions of the billboards advertised California's easily obtainable abortions b...
