CAPITOLA \u2014 The Capitola Police Department announced Tuesday an arrest had been made in connection to a slew of crimes across Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties.<\/p>\n
Capitola police booked the suspect, a 44-year-old man from out of county, into Santa Cruz County Jail on multiple felony charges including robbery, obstruction, theft and a parole hold, as well as Ramey warrants from nearby counties, a type of warrant issued before a prosecutor files formal criminal charges.<\/p>\n
Last week, Capitola police investigated a robbery from a business where a loss prevention officer was injured when the suspect shoved them to ground, according to a statement from the department. Officers recognized the suspect from an arrest a few months ago, who has had a history of evading police, theft, and violent crime.<\/p>\n
On Jan. 8, officers received reports that the suspect had just fled from an attempted traffic stop by Santa Cruz County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies on Highway 9. Shortly after, a Capitola police unit located the suspect, who again evaded law enforcement on what was believed to be a stolen motorcycle.<\/p>\n
Police said the suspect fled recklessly from officers through an apartment complex and against the direction of traffic, driving directly toward a motor officer at a high rate of speed, nearly causing a collision. To ensure the safety of the community, Capitola police officers made the decision to discontinue the pursuit.<\/p>\n
The following night, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff\u2019s Office located the suspect and after a brief foot pursuit, was apprehended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAPITOLA \u2014 The Capitola Police Department announced Tuesday an arrest had been made in connection to a slew…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":141574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[184,861,7,22728,723,138,181,23,100,2480,88,90,89,198,1498,3234,200,2442],"class_list":["post-141573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-bay-area","tag-bay-area-crime","tag-california","tag-capitola","tag-crime","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-robbery","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-santa-clara-county","tag-santa-cruz","tag-santa-cruz-county","tag-south-bay","tag-south-bay-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
