items in the vehicle belonging to a subject wanted 
by the Monrovia Police Department. The vehicle 
was seen leaving an address in the 100 block of 
Los Angeles and there was a large group of people 
at the residence. An officer responded to see if 
the suspect was at the location. While the officer 
was speaking with some of the subjects outside 
the residence, he saw the wanted suspect. The 
suspect then turned and walked into the house, 
disregarding the officer's order to stop. Containment 
of the area was set up by Monrovia officers, 
along with assisting officers from Arcadia Police 
Department. A search was then conducted of the 
residence and adjacent homes with the help of 
the Foothill Air Support Team helicopter, but the 
suspect was not located.

 The next day, December 22, security officers 
from the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia responded 
to a disturbance and subsequently escorted 
a male subject out of the mall. He was told not 
to return. The subject initially left the location, 
but then returned. When mall security went to 
detain him for trespassing the subject ran and 
jumped off a second story parking structure to 
get away. The mall security officers chased down 
and detained the subject. The subject was determined 
to be the suspect wanted by Monrovia 
Police Department. He was booked at Arcadia 
Police Department for the new charges and then 
taken to Monrovia Police Department, where he 
was booked and housed.
