An Atascadero man was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence after leading police on two chases Wednesday.
Police said Terry Louis Snyder, 40, was also wanted on a warrant for a previous domestic violence incident when he fled after officers responded to the 8800 block of San Gabriel Road about 8:45 a.m.
Sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Atascadero State Hospital Police Department also chased Snyder as he ran through open fields and several residents’ properties. A CHP helicopter was also requested.
A second man, 38-year-old Jason Paul Flood, was fleeing in connection with the search for Snyder, police said. He was arrested in connection with an outstanding warrant. Officers searched for three hours but could not find Snyder.
Snyder was located at 3 p.m. in the 10000 block of West Front and fled again on foot. He was arrested at Ash Street and Catalpa Court on suspicion of corporal injury to a cohabitant, two counts of resisting a police officer and an outstanding warrant.
He was taken to County Jail with bail set at $70,000.
