Suspicious Vehicle, 1/27/23: Officers responded to the 1300 block of N. Liberty Lake Road for a suspicious vehicle. Officers ran the vehicle plate and determined the adult male owner of the vehicle had a warrant for his arrest. Officers checked the photo of the owner, and it matched the description of the male walking towards the vehicle. Officers contacted the male as he was attempting to leave in his vehicle. The male became combative, and they had to use de-escalation techniques along with hands on to prevent his escape after advising him he was under arrest. The male was taken into custody for the warrant along with resisting and obstructing charges. Further investigation revealed the male also attempted to take several items from a nearby store but stopped before leaving when he noticed police vehicles outside.
