A Salina man with outstanding warrants was arrested after running twice, once from a bondsman and once from police.

Officers were sent to a residence in the 800 block of W. Walnut Street Friday afternoon for the report of a male who had escaped from a bondsman, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. A bondsman from Eagle Bonds had called the law enforcement dispatch center to report that David Moreno, 39, of Salina, had been taken into custody for outstanding warrants and was placed in handcuffs. When Moreno was being taken out of the residence, he ran, according to Forrester.

Witnesses told police that Moreno was seen entering a residence in the 500 block of Montrose Street. Officers surrounded the residence and Moreno eventually exited the house and was taken into custody, however while police were waiting on a patrol vehicle for transport, Moreno again fled on foot while handcuffed, Forrester noted. Following a brief foot pursuit, Moreno was taken into custody in the 400 block of Montrose Street.

Moreno had two active warrants out of Saline County District Court for probation violation and failure to appear. Additionally, Moreno was arrested on the following requested charges, according to Forrester.

●Two counts of misdemeanor theft

●Felony interference with law enforcement

●Aggravated escape from custody
