Leona Lewis was left fearing for her life as she and her management were caught in the midst of a police chase and arrest in Los Angeles. She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “It was really frightening. One minute we were stopping for drinks, the next there was police and guns everywhere. It came completely out of the blue and was absolutely terrifying. “I really thought the guys might start shooting. I was shaking like a leaf afterwards.” While on her way to the LAX airport Leona Lewis and her team stopped at Starbucks for some coffee.
The group just pulled over when a car which had been involved in a high-speed chase with police screeched to a halt next to them and two men with handguns came running past. Nicola (Leona’s assistant) had just climbed out the vehicle and Leona was close behind her. Leona’s security team quickly forced her back into her car.
A source said: “Two men brandishing guns jumped out of their car, right next to Leona’s. Armed cops, who had been in hot pursuit, captured them. But in the chaos bystanders were also sent flying. “Leona had been locked in her car by her security team and had to watch as her manager was thrown on to the floor.”
In the midst of the officers arresting the suspects, Leona was also arrested, after speaking to the police she was release and made her way to the airport in which she made her flight.
