The driver and the other suspect got back in the car to flee the scene, and the witness held on to the doorframe of the car. She was dragged about 100 feet, sustaining several scratches to her legs, hands, forearms and feet, Lt. Ciszek said. She was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital for treatment. The driver later went to the police station to talk to an officer about what happened, and she was arrested and transported to Los Padrinos Juvenile Facility in Downey.
