Police arrested a suspect following a pursuit and search Monday afternoon in West Sacramento.

Officers attempted a traffic stop on West Capitol Avenue around 4 p.m. but the driver failed to yield, the West Sacramento Police Department said in a news release.

“Officers briefly lost sight of the suspect vehicle but quickly located it parked and abandoned” in the 1000 block of Elliot Street, the news release said.

A resident reported to police that a suspect, matching the description of the driver, entered their residence on Elliot Street and “demanded they vacate,” the Police Department said in an initial news release around 6:30 p.m. Police set up a perimeter around that residence and deployed a drone team.

However, the department said in an update that officers “determined there was no crime at the residence.” Police located and detained the suspect near the 1000 block of Elliot Street sometime before 9 p.m., according to an updated news release.

The Police Department said the suspect, a male who was not identified, was arrested for outstanding felony warrants and for evading officers.

He will be booked into the Yolo County Jail, authorities said.
