On 2/20/10, at about 9:05 p.m., Bakersfield Police Officers Paul Yoon and Rudy Beruman attempted to stop a 1993 Honda Civic at Monterey Street and Beale Avenue for traffic violations.
The driver of the Honda stopped initially but sped away when the officers exited their patrol car to contact them. The suspects led the officers on a pursuit during which one of the
three suspects shot at the officers through the rear window of the Honda several times throughout the pursuit. The driver of the vehicle finally stopped in the 1000 block of Clyde Street
and the front seat passenger and the shooter ran south on Clyde Street whilst the driver ran north east. Officer Beruman, who was the passenger officer, fired multiple times at the shooter
as he pursued him on foot; however, he lost both suspects after they ran west through the housing complex and then south across Potomac Street. A perimeter was immediately set and during
a yard to yard search officers detected suspicious activity at a residence in the 1200 block of Potomac Street and ultimately detained three male juveniles thought to be responsible
for the offense. At the time, probable cause existed for their arrest. The aforementioned continued investigation has since exonerated the three juveniles and subsequently all charges
against them have been dismissed and they have been released from custody. The investigation is continuing. For Immediate Release February 20, 2010 On 2/20/10, at about 9:05 p.m., partnered
