Local police arrested a Flagstaff man they had been searching for the past two weeks after an anonymous tipster led them to his location.

Ray Almendarez, 39, was arrested on Friday morning at an eastside trailer home by officers from the Flagstaff Police Department and the Metro anti-narcotics task force. Almendarez reportedly attempted to run past police, but he was physically detained without injury and booked into the Coconino County jail.

Almendarez was wanted for possession of dangerous drugs, a felony, plus six assorted misdemeanor warrants, including disorderly conduct, criminal damage, and disturbing the peace per domestic violence.

Flagstaff police had issued a call to residents on May 10 asking for help in finding Almendarez.
