He left in a stolen car and fled down Jackson Road toward Webster Street. Once the suspect noticed that the police had responded to the hotel manager's call, he got out of the car and ran into nearby bushes, AAPD reports state. He was then apprehended by police.

The suspect was wanted for several other outstanding felonies, including a warrant for possession of cocaine from the U.S. Marshall's Office.
