Community Members help Police catch suspect who ran from Traffic Stop and was wanted on a Felony warrant 
At 11 pm last night Green Bay Police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Harrison St and Phoebe St. One of the occupants in the vehicle fled on foot into the surrounding neighborhood. He was later identified as Neil P Banerdt, a 29 year old Green Bay resident.
Several officers attempted to set up a perimeter and a police K-9 was used to try and locate Banerdt. Officers were aware Banerdt was wanted on a Felony Probation warrant. The crimes that he was on probation for included several domestic violence offenses, to include Battery and Strangulation / Suffocation.
During the investigation, several neighborhood residents assisted officers by pointing to different locations that they had seen Banerdt running from. The information from the unnamed citizens proved very valuable to officers, who moved their perimeter and searching with the K-9, to the appropriate area.
At approximately 11:36 pm Banerdt was located by a police K9 hiding in a common entry way to a two family home in the 700 block of Elmore St. He did not live at the residence.
No officers or Banerdt were injured in the apprehension. Banerdt was taken to jail on the Felony probation warrant and a new charge of Resisting/Obstruction officers.
The Green Bay Police Department would like to thank the numerous citizens who assisted officers in this incident. Their quick involvement proved crucial in helping keep their neighborhood safe!
