A deputy spotted the man riding a bicycle north on Plumas Street toward Bridge Street, with him  ditching the bike when he saw the squad car. He then “began jumping fences near Bridge Street School. A perimeter was set up and a night vision drone located him in a backyard in the 500 block of B Street.
