MAN WITH GUN RUNS FROM COPS

Elyria – Elyria Police Officers were called to the area of Depot Street behind National City Bank late Saturday night to break up a fight. While breaking up the combatants one of the men fled from the Police.

Officers ordered the man to stop then chased him on foot through the downtown area. The chase crossed Broad Street and through the JGT pay parking lot, behind Bugsy’s and to Chapel Alley.

With Officers close behind the suspect ran into a blue car traveling down Chapel Alley. The man appeared to be trying to get inside of the car – that is until he looked inside and saw a Police Officer. The man then began to run again towards Second Street but was taken down by Officers.

The man is from the Cleveland area and it was discovered that he had active warrants from Cleveland. The Officers also confiscated an automatic handgun from him.
