TULSA - A wanted man is behind bars this morning after running from police.
    
Police say 18-year-old Jeremy Thomas led officers on a chase in a friend's car around 1:15 a.m. through north Tulsa.
    
The pursuit lasted about 10 minutes through until stop sticks punctured the tires.
    
That's when officers say Thomas took off on foot, kicking in the door to a woman's home near Pine and North Cincinnati and hiding in the attic.
    
They quickly found him and he surrendered without further problems.
    
Thomas was wanted for an armed robbery involving a rifle back in May.
    
He's now being held $120,000 bond.
