Correction: Lt. Matt Harris was misidentified in a previous version of this story.

A man wanted on multiple warrants was arrested after he walked, and then ran from Columbus police on Tuesday.

Officers saw 31-year-old Jose O. Vera, of Columbus, in the 9000 block of Wexford Court at about 5:25 p.m. and recognized that he was wanted on several outstanding warrants.

Officers tried to stop Vera and at first he kept walking away, refusing to stop and then ran around the apartment building to get away, but he was quickly caught, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police.

In addition to warrants, for auto theft, resisting law enforcement, driving while suspended, forgery and conversion, Vera is also now facing a preliminary charge of resisting law enforcement.
