A North Platte man is in jail on a felony charge after he allegedly ran from police.

At around 12:37 p.m., on September 26, an officer on patrol saw Jon Jay Caudillo in the 900 block of South Tabor Street.

The officer was aware that Caudillo had an active Lincoln County warrant for escape and made contact with him.

Police say Caudillo was cooperative at first but ran after the officer told him he was being arrested.

Caudillo ran into a building at South Platte Terrace apartments, where officers eventually found him hiding behind a dryer unit.

Caudillo was arrested and transported to jail on the warrant for escape and a new charge of resisting arrest.

Police say Caudillo was convicted of resisting arrest in 2007, making this charge a felony.
