2:31pm Mission/Onondaga Warrant
Arrest
A man walking down Mission Street spotted Ingleside Officers
Quintero, Lee, and Barajas driving by in the opposite direction and decided he
didn’t want anything to do with them. He took off running with the quick footed
Officers Barajas and Quintero in hot pursuit. The chase went for several blocks
before the suspect finally stopped and dropped to the ground with his hands in
the air. He was placed in handcuffs and a check of his clothing revealed
significant quantities of marijuana, codeine, prescription medications, and
MDMA. A computer check revealed an outstanding warrant for his arrest out of
San Mateo County. He was booked on the narcotics charges and his outstanding
warrant. Report number: 160009188

at a nearby fast food restaurant and placed him in custody. The victim said the
