DANVILLE, CA — A man was arrested last week after walking through Danville yards and leading police on a foot pursuit, according to the Danville Police Department. Christopher Gary, 39, was arrested on suspicion of two charges related to trespassing, a charge of obstructing an officer and a charge of violating his probation, police say.

Danville police were called to the 100 block of Wembly Drive shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday after receiving a report of a suspicious person.
