Domestic Violence Suspect Sought In North OC

ANAHEIM, CA — Helicopters, police cars and K9 officers sought a domestic violence suspect who fled from Anaheim police Tuesday afternoon. As of 2 p.m. police helicopters were still circling the area of State College and Orangewood, seeking the suspect.

Police were called just after 10:15 a.m. to the Gateway apartment complex at State College Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue, said Anaheim police Sgt. Daron Wyatt.

Arriving officers spotted the suspect, but he took off on foot, according to Wyatt, who described him as a 23-year-old "black man with corn-row braided hair to his shoulders and tattoos on his neck and face."

He was wearing a white shirt and dark blue skinny jeans, according to the sergeant, who asked anyone who sees the suspect to call 911.

"Residents are encouraged to stay inside and call 911 if you see something suspicious," Wyatt said.
