ALBANY POLICE

Across the freeway - A man ran across Interstate 5 Tuesday morning in an attempt to get away from police.

Around 10:50 a.m., officers tried to stop a Toyota Camry for speeding on Queen Avenue near Geary Street S.E. The Camry driver continued east on Queen and then turned south on Waverly Drive and east on 21st Avenue. The driver stopped at the dead end and ran across the freeway.

A detective found the driver walking near Spicer Wayside.

Police said the man was fleeing because he thought he had a warrant.

He didn't have any warrants.
