Westminster PD

Man with felony warrant arrested after foot pursuit

officers contacted a man near 84th Ave and Federal Blvd who had an active felony warrant for failure to comply on multiple charges, including possession with intent to distribute, vehicular eluding, motor vehicle theft, obstruction, resisting arrest and other related offenses.

Naturally, he tried to run because apparently that always works out so well. He darted into oncoming traffic before officers eventually caught up with him and took him into custody. He also was found to be in possession of co***ne, M**A and other controlled substances.

Great work by patrol officers, and thank you to the motorists who slowed down and gave officers the space needed to safely take him into custody.
