On December 8, 2019 at around 5:30 A.M. a Massac County Deputy was in the area of 12th Street and Coburn Street in Metropolis. The Deputy observed a male on a bicycle and attempted to stop him. The bicyclist attempted to elude the Deputy on the bicycle. The male abandoned the bicycle and fled on foot. After a brief foot chase, the male was apprehended on Walter Drive.
