A woman driving a Mercedes-Benz filled with six dogs was taken into custody Monday night on the 710 Freeway in Long Beach after a chase and several pit maneuvers employed by the California Highway Patrol.

The woman has been identified as Tiffine Tobe, 47, of La Habra, said Officer Tom Joy, of the CHP’s Westminster station. She has been booked on suspicion of drunken driving and evading arrest.

CHP received a suspicious circumstances call for a vehicle on the 91 Freeway near Knott Avenue around 8:43 p.m. Officers observed Tobe slumped over the steering wheel inside the vehicle.

She drove away when she was awakened by officers, Joy said. Tobe exited the freeway at Knott Avenue and was able to reenter the freeway where she led officers on a pursuit with speeds up to 90 mph.

The chase ended on the southbound 710 Freeway north of Pacific Coast Highway, he said.

Officers used several pit maneuvers to spin the car out and into the center divider, said CHP Officer Francisco Villalobos.

When the woman finally got out of the vehicle in response to commands from the CHP, her six dogs, large and small, began leaving the car.

They ran up to her as she laid down on the freeway, ran around the CHP cars and wagged their tails as the officers tried to corral them.

Traffic had been stopped in the vicinity of the end of the chase because of the law enforcement activity before the dogs ran around the freeway.

The woman was eventually put into a CHP cruiser and the dogs rounded up by the officers.
