Rodrick Butler, 24, armed with a small semiautomatic handgun reported stolen from Glendale, bolted from detectives when they came to the door of his Canyon Country apartment, according to a sheriff’s statement.
The chase began to unfold at 9:30 a.m. in the 18000 block of Annes Circle.
Twenty-plus deputies, search dogs and helicopters swarmed the area, searching cars and crevices to find Butler.
They later found him hiding in a garage.
Butler had dumped the gun in his apartment before authorities found him at about noon.
He was arrested on suspicion of burglary and possession of a concealed weapon and stolen property.
He was taken to Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail, where he was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
