A Riverside County Sheriff's deputy was observed using a dating app during a standoff with a grand theft suspect, leading to an internal investigation by the sheriff's office. The deputy's actions were deemed inconsistent with department standards. The suspect, after a high-speed chase, crashed into a wall and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The sheriff's office acknowledged a failure in deploying a grappler net system during the chase, which contributed to the suspect's crash and subsequent standoff.
