On Thursday 7/10/14 at 4:50PM, Sgt. Pardo heard a car accident in the area of Royal Ann Dr. and Perry Rd. As he was checking the area, a citizen pointed out a subject in Civic Center Park who had fled the scene of the collision. As Sgt. Pardo attempted to detain him, the subject took off running. Another citizen advised that the subject had run into the condominiums next to the Police Department. As this was occurring, dispatch advised that the Highway Patrol was looking for a subject who assaulted one of their officers and fled the scene in a stolen vehicle. The description of the subject in the assault matched the description of the subject who fled from Sgt. Pardo. A perimeter was being established when officers located the subject hiding behind a car. The subject was detained without incident. The actual collision occurred at the corner of Corum Ct and Royal Ann Dr. The vehicle the subject was driving was a confirmed stolen vehicle. Witnesses were brought to the scene and they positively identified the subject we had detained as the subject who fled from the collision in Union City. The involved Highway Patrol officer arrived on scene and positively identified the subject we captured as the same subject who rammed his motorcycle and fled. The subject was turned over to the Highway Patrol for booking.

The copper wiring was in plain view but a search of the vehicle yielded several tools most likely used to cut the wiring from the building. The two subjects were arrested for commercial burglary. During transport to the station one of the two subjects discarded drug paraphernalia and a controlled substance. Both subjects were transported and booked at Santa Rita Jail.
