TULSA - A traffic stop ended with a foot chase through midtown Tulsa.
Officers pulled over a green pickup truck at 15th and Denver around 2 a.m. but the driver got out and ran, leaving his female passenger behind.
Police tracked him down, set up a perimeter and quickly spotted the suspect's shoes near a dumpster at 16th and Cincinnati where he'd jumped a fence.
Oficers found him hiding under brush.
The man, whose identity hasn't been released, was arrested for the traffic violation and obstruction of justice.
