A Los Angeles police sergeant was arrested Sunday on suspicion of burglary after a woman found him inside her home near the San Bernardino National Forest and sprayed him with a potent form of pepper spray that is typically used to ward off bears, authorities said.

LAPD Sgt. Lucien Daigle allegedly fled but crashed his car a few miles from the woman’s Mentone home, said San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Sgt. Paul Morrison.

Daigle reeked of pepper spray when he was approached and had valuables inside his car that belonged to the woman, Morrison said.

It was only during the booking process, Morrison said, that deputies learned that Daigle, 44, was an LAPD sergeant.

3. What's your guess? 10,12 days and a stern verbal warning?

I wonder how long the woman will be harassed. Stopped at every opportunity, cruisers parked outside her home, etc.
