A man who fled from a north Salina traffic stop was later found himself in the Saline County Jail.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that a deputy stopped a car in the 400 block of N. Broadway Boulevard at approximately 10:08 p.m Wednesday after it made a wide turn. When the vehicle came to a stop, the passenger, identified as Brian Cleveland, 20, jumped out and fled on foot.

Another deputy located Cleveland in the area a short while later. Soldan said Cleveland had two active warrants from Mitchell County for probation violations.

Cleveland was arrested on the two warrants and on a requested charge of interference with a law enforcement officer.

Soldan said a deputy talked with the driver and then released her.
