A suspect with multiple warrants was arrested Thursday evening after allegedly fleeing from an encounter with a Turlock police officer.

An officer approached a suspect, later identified as Myron Perez, 44, around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday on the 100 block of North Beech Street.

When the officer approached Perez, the suspect allegedly fled from the encounter.

Perez jumped a nearby fence, according to the Turlock Police Department, but the officer was able to catch him after a short foot pursuit.

The officer found that Perez was actively wanted for a parole violation, a warrant for a misdemeanor domestic violence case out of Merced County, and by the Turlock Police Department for resisting arrested and driving with a suspended license.

Perez was also allegedly found to be in possession of methamphetamine.

He was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and the multiple warrants.
