A wanted man was arrested after allegedly leading deputies on a foot pursuit through the open desert.
On Wednesday (June 18) at around 3:00 p.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies executed a warrant in the 62100 block of Canterbury Street in Joshua Tree. Deputies say they were attempting to arrest Nathan Brown, a 39 year-old resident of Joshua Tree for a felony warrant related to a grand theft auto case that occurred in Twentynine Palms.
Deputies say that when they arrived, Brown fled into open desert, but after a brief chase they were able to take him into custody. Deputies say that Brown was found to have just over seven grams of suspected methamphetamine.
Nathan Brown was arrested for investigation into resisting arrest, possession of a controlled substance, and his outstanding warrant. He is being held at the West Valley Detention Center on $300,000 bail.
