STAFF REPORT ~ 9/3/2011

The Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office made an arrest well after what they believed to be a routine traffic stop at I-17 and Anthem Way Thursday afternoon.
After being pulled over at approximately 4:30 p.m. the male took off on foot, knocking over a Posse member, who sustained some minor scrapes and bruises in an effort to stop the suspect.
The search for the suspect continued throughout the evening as helicopters with spotlights were used in the desert surrounding Anthem. The suspect was eventually taken into custody.
According to MCSO officials the suspect was not believed to pose a threat to the public.
