Officers, including a SWAT team and the crew of an SDPD helicopter circling overhead, searched the area through the late morning for the suspect, who remained at large at midday, Foster said.
In the early afternoon, police located the suspect, finding him hiding deep in heavy brush near the river, according to police. After the man refused repeated orders to surrender, officers — who had determined that he was unarmed and not wounded — backed off for a time, Foster said.
