The driver appeared to cooperate by stopping, but as the deputy approached the vehicle on foot, the suspect fled, Pinal County Sheriffs say. A vehicle pursuit ensued along the outskirts of Casa Grande, but ended after the suspect led deputies into a residential area.

Based on records from the MVD and visible tattoos on the suspect's face, he was identified as 31-year-old Albert Tejeda of Casa Grande. Deputies used in-house data to assist looking in several locations, and eventually found Tejeda walking in the area of 2nd St. and Cameron Ave, the release states.
Deputies saw Tejeda carrying a duffle bag with a Samurai-style sword sticking out. He initially resisted commands from deputies to surrender, but after a K-9 unit was deployed, Tejeda submitted and was taken into custody without further incident. Tejeda was charged with Felony Flight from Pursuing Law Enforcement Vehicle and Misconduct involving Weapons/Prohibited Possessor stemming from previous felony convictions.
