A 29yearold Buena Park man was in custody Thursday after leading law enforcement officers on a threehour chase through Los Angeles and Orange counties before he pulled into a shopping center and ran into a 99 Cents Only store, where he was arrested at gunpoint.

Alexis Avinai was booked on suspicion of domestic violence and felony evading, according to the South Gate Police Department. He was held on $125,000 bail.

Police said Avinai is an "exfelon on post release community supervision.''

According to police, Avinai was accompanied in the car by his girlfriend, who was treated for unspecified injuries and taken to a hospital in stable condition. Her name was not released.
