Video taken on the night of Oct. 17 shows a dramatic scene in a West Phoenix residential neighborhood involving a suspect who, according to police, jumped onto the roof of homes in the area.

According to police, the incident began to unfold in the area of 38th Avenue and Mobile Lane, where officers tried to stop a vehicle.

"The vehicle failed to yield to the traffic stop and felony flight was established," read a portion of the statement. "Officers did not initiate a pursuit of the vehicle. Rather, it was tracked to the area of 35th Avenue and Roeser Street."

Police say the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Jamie Chavira, was seen jumping into the backyard of several homes in an area neighborhood, and at times, on the roof of homes.

"Eventually, with the assistance of a K-9 deployment, the man was taken into custody," read a portion of the statement.
