Eduardo Antonio Felix, 38, was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft with prior convictions, possession of stolen property, felony evading, possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence of a controlled substance, and resisting arrest, according to Sgt.

Allert said that around 12:10 a.m., deputies from the Thermal sheriff’s station pursued an alleged stolen vehicle driven by Felix in the 83000 block of Avenue 48.
The chase proceeded along several Coachella streets before the driver abandoned the vehicle and led a short foot pursuit, according to Allert. He was subsequently arrested in the 85000 block of Huxley Court.
Felix was booked into the John J. Benoit Detention Center.
Anyone with information was asked to call Deputy Day from the Thermal sheriff’s station at 760-863-8990 or Valley Crimestoppers anonymously at 760- 341-7867 (STOP).

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
