The registered owner of the vehicle was Ronnell Eugene Loyd [DOB REDACTED], "Defendant" herein, who had warrants. Officers observed Defendant and stopped him outside the building. When Defendant was told he was under arrest, he quickly took off running from officer(s). After a foot pursuit and a tazer deployment, officers apprehend Defendant and he was placed under arrest.
