Officers spotted a man believed to have outstanding warrants exiting a 2009 BMW behind a home in the 1000 block of McLeod Avenue around 3 p.m. He attempted to flee when he spotted police, but was arrested after a short foot pursuit, WPS said in a news release Thursday.

Further investigation revealed the vehicle was stolen, and police found a sawed-off shotgun, 32 grams of cocaine and nine grams of methamphetamine during a subsequent search, the release said.
