31-year-old man arrested after fleeing stop near the intersection of Lawrence Street and W Broadway, police say
Eugene, OR – According to the police officials, this incident occurred right before 9 p.m. Thursday night.
It happened near the intersection of Lawrence Street and W. Broadway.
Eugene Police Department officers stopped the 31-year-old man, later identified as Michael Lowell.
The responding officers reportedly knew Lowell had active warrants, including one felony warrant for his arrest.
When one of the officers advised Lowell he was being detained, he took off on foot and ran toward W. 8th Avenue.
Multiple Eugene Police units, an EPD drone operator, and a Springfield K9 responded to help.
With the help of bystanders, officers learned Lowell had run into the nearby home of an acquaintance in the 600 block of Madison.
Lowell made his way onto the roof of a garage and was spotted by officers.
An officer was able to get some rapport with Lowell and he ultimately came down from the roof and was taken into custody without incident.
