SANTA ROSA (BCN) - A San Francisco man with multiple warrants out for his arrest was taken into custody Sunday morning after he allegedly fled from police during a traffic stop in what turned out to be a stolen car, Santa Rosa police said. 

Jeffrey Locke, 40, allegedly fled from police on foot after a 2:21 a.m. traffic stop on Marlow Road near Jennings Avenue, according to Sgt. David Boettger.
