A corrections deputy promptly responds and chases the man. He grabs the suspect’s suit jacket, pulling him to the ground.
The man, who has not been named, is a level three sex offender. Level three offenders are considered to have a high risk of repeat offense and a threat to public safety exists.
The sheriff’s department wrote on Facebook: ‘An outstanding response by #PCSD corrections deputies ensured that there were no injuries during the incident and damages were limited to less than $1000. Well done!’
