Man with auto theft warrant goes on chase in stolen car

A chase suspect definitely understands irony after being arrested Sunday morning.

Officers attempted to stop Timothy Waggle, but a pursuit ensued instead. Police say he ended up stopping the vehicle near East 36th and MLK Jr. Blvd.

“Driver fled on foot and hid in a wooded area,” police say.  “The helicopter was watching him, so he was taken into custody.”

It turns out, Waggle had a felony warrant for auto theft. Plus, the car he was driving came back as stolen.

A female passenger in the vehicle was also taken into custody for warrants.
