ESCANABA At about 11:20 p.m. Thursday, a deputy with the Delta County Sheriff’s Office was in Meijer when an employee reported that shoplifting, known legally as “retail fraud,” had just occurred. The deputy went to the parking lot and located the suspect in a vehicle leaving the area.
The deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled, leading to a pursuit. Eventually, the vehicle pulled over on 14th Road near M-69, where the driver fled on foot.
The driver, a male who was not immediately identified, was from the Wilson area and was located in the woods about two hours later and taken into custody.

United States Marshals, with assistance from law enforcement agencies in Delta and Montrose counties, arrested an El Paso County attempted homicide suspect Saturday in Eckert.
The U.S. Marshals Service identified the suspect as John Anthony Barrera, 46, and said although the arrest warrant was recently issued, the alleged homicide attempt occurred in 2018.
Authorities with the Colorado Springs Police Department, whose warrant it was, could not be reached for further information about the case.
According to Acting Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal for the District of Colorado Katrina Crouse, the agency received a tip that Barrera was possibly living in Eckert.
