RCMP had to chase a suspect down on foot after a traffic stop in Stephenville last week.
Police pulled a vehicle over on St. Clare Avenue in Stephenville around 1:30 Friday afternoon.
A passenger jumped out and ran from the scene with officers in quick pursuit.
Thirty-four-year-old Michael Kane, who had a previous warrant out for his arrest, was taken into custody nearby without further incident.
He was held in custody over the weekend to appear in court on charges including failing to comply with the conditions of a release order.
His next court appearance is in August.
The investigation continues.
