SAN DIEGO—A 30-year-old man was arrested June 14 for allegedly shooting a San Diego Police Department (SDPD) officer last week during a pursuit in a Chollas Creek-area neighborhood.
J.C. Blake Sartor of San Diego was taken into custody at about 12:30 p.m. in the 8700 block of Spectrum Center Boulevard in Kearny Mesa, SDPD Chief David Nisleit told news crews during a mid-afternoon briefing.

Nisleit credited the arrest to a “phenomenal” department-wide effort.
“I will say this—this suspect’s capture is the result of a lot of great investigative police work and tenacity,” the police chief told reporters during the news conference at downtown police headquarters. “As I told you last week, we would not stop working [on] this case.”…
