They claim they were notified that a man had threatened a woman’s life during this dispute. Upon arriving at the location, police say they spotted him fleeing the scene in a vehicle, which prompted a brief pursuit that came to a half after tire deflation devices were deployed.
Police say they also learned that the man had several active warrants for various offenses. While no further information was provided as to any information learned during the investigation into the dispute, he is now facing charges for disorderly conduct and domestic violence. He is also facing charges stemming from his alleged involvement in the police pursuit.
