Foot Pursuit and Search for Suspect on North McAllister Drive

Summary: Tempe Police officers initiated a foot pursuit of a black male suspect in his 20s, initially described as wearing tan pants and a white shirt, later updated to a gray t-shirt and olive green cargo pants, with short hair. The suspect was seen jumping walls and running through residential backyards in the area of North McAllister Drive. Multiple units responded, set up a perimeter, and coordinated a search using both officers and a drone (though city-wide drone support was unavailable). The suspect was last seen jumping into the backyard of 1449 North McAllister. After an extensive search involving several intersections and alleyways (including Sunset, Hancock, Weber, and Swarrow), officers made contact with an individual near the original area. The incident concluded with officers clearing the backyard and confirming the area was secure.
