A Ukiah man who reportedly tried to elude officers by hiding in a business’ supply closet was arrested recently for allegedly violating his parole and other felonies, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, an officer on patrol in the 200 block of North Orchard Avenue around 1:20 p.m. Jan. 17 reported recognizing a man he knew to have “two felony warrants for his arrest out of Mendocino County (and who was) on parole with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
When the officer attempted to contact the man, identified as Andru J. Campbell, 25, of Ukiah, the suspect reportedly ran, ignoring commands to stop while he entered “Video Tepa and barricaded himself in a supply closet.”
Additional officers arrived to assist, and the UPD reports that “while Campbell was barricaded in the supply closet, he made statements of possibly being armed with a weapon (that he would) shoot at UPD officers.”
After the officers set up a perimeter and began negotiating with Campbell, they “determined that Campbell was most likely not armed with a weapon. Campbell was ultimately contacted in the supply closet and after a brief struggle he was placed under arrest without further incident. While searching the supply closet after Campbell’s arrest, the officer located a methamphetamine pipe, suspected methamphetamine, and pepper spray. A criminal history check of Campbell showed he is a convicted felon and is not allowed to possess any amounts of pepper spray.”
Campbell was then booked into Mendocino County Jail on suspicion of violating his parole, resisting arrest by threats or violence, illegally possessing pepper spray, possessing both a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, and for two felony arrest warrants out of Mendocino County, which the UPD report were for 1) domestic violence and 2) violation of parole. He was held under $280,000 bail.
