A 24-year-old man who fled from a traffic stop was apprehended by Logan police officers today around 6:30 p.m.
A patrol officer attempted to pull Rocky Rivera over after looking up his license plate number and discovering a warrant for his arrest. When Rivera didn't stop, the officer pursued him for "about a block," said Capt. Curtis Hooley. "Then he pulled into a driveway and ran inside."
Not knowing if Rivera had fled the house through a different exit or was still inside, the officer called for backup. He and another officer remained on the scene wielding AR-15 rifles as at least six other officers arrived and patrolled the surrounding area for about 30 minutes.
The K-9 unit was on its way to the scene shortly before Rivera came out of the house and was arrested.
Cpl. Chad Carter said the owners of the house were Rivera's family members, and they informed officers that he was still inside. A neighbor later confirmed that the house belonged to Rivera's in-laws. Two cars were towed from the house after Rivera was taken to the Cache County jail.
