Man flees police; vehicle hits house
A Little Rock man was arrested Friday after police say he jumped out of a moving vehicle while fleeing from officers and caused damage to a nearby house.
Cameron Johnson, 28, was arrested around 3:40 a.m. Friday, according to an arrest report from Little Rock police.
Johnson was fleeing from officers in a stolen vehicle when he jumped out and continued fleeing on foot. The vehicle, which was still in motion, rolled into a nearby house and caused more than $5,000 in damages, the report said.
Officers captured Johnson near 1108 W. 43rd St. in North Little Rock, the report said. When officers searched the vehicle Johnson was driving, they found "a small amount" of marijuana.
Johnson faces felony charges of fleeing by vehicle, theft by receiving and criminal mischief, as well as misdemeanor charges of fleeing on foot, refusal to submit to arrest and possession of a controlled substance. He also faces charges related to multiple traffic violations.
The Pulaski County jail roster had no record of Johnson on Sunday night.
