Manville police used shoe leather to capture a man who resisted service of a warrant.
On May 1 Manville police detectives tied to serve arrest Christopher T. Tacak, 25, of South 16th Ave., on a Somerset County warrant for violation of probation.
Police said Mr. Tacak bolted the South 16th Avenue residence on foot through the front door. Detectives chased on foot and set up a containment perimeter.
A short time later, detectives saw Mr. Tacak leaving a residence. They continued their pursuit and caught Mr. Tacak in the rear yard of a nearby house.
Following a struggle, police said, Mr. Tacak was arrested and found to be in possession of a hypodermic syringe, drug paraphernalia and other property. A check of the home Mr. Tacak was seen leaving revealed that the rear door had been forced open and property was taken, police said.
Mr. Tacak was charged with third-degree burglary, resisting arrest in the third and fourth degrees; as well as possession of a hypodermic syringe and possession of drug paraphernalia, both disorderly persons offenses.
Mr. Tacak was lodged in the Somerset County Jail. Judge Julie M. Marino set bail at $20,000 with a 10 percent cash option.
