Let's set the High Line Trail, too. 837.05. 3705. 3705. We intend for on Mesa City's traffic. I couldn't catch a household vehicle or a foot pursuit. I'm not 100% sure. I'm wondering if it was a traffic staff that turned into a flip pursuit. I think she said that she lost him now. Ten forth, thanks. You couldn't have gone that far, but go to that resident. Just, Judge, can you have the RO of this vehicle? Sounds like he doesn't have any weapons. I thought so, but when I was coming back down south, I thought I saw somebody running on 18th Street. Would have been Easton. 10-4. Are we good to let this car go? Negative, let's talk to him real quick. She said they were headed to her residence. Their traffic. Thirty-six, it's in the area. Ten-four. Thirty-five. You think he ran south? I thought he took off north, but when I was coming back south, I saw somebody running eastbound on the street down. 10 for us. Let's check that trail by those trains. 51's out on the trail. 1515. I got the RP or the RO calling them. 51.25. We're going to be hopping on this trail.
