The Tulsa Police Department says officers were able to take a man into custody after a pursuit through midtown and north Tulsa Saturday afternoon.

Officers say they were patrolling near the 6700 block of East 17th Street for a suspect wanted on gun and drug charges. They say they saw him get into a vehicle and try to get away.

"He ran out on foot and we caught him about a block and a half away in the neighborhood," said Sergeant Robert Rohloff with the Tulsa Police Department. "Officers took him into custody without incident."
