A St. Joseph man has been charged with a misdemeanor for resisting arrest in Buchanan County.

Christian J. Banks, 23 was charged Wednesday in connection with an incident that took place Tuesday afternoon in the 2100 block of Pacific.

According to court documents around 12:30 p.m. police said Banks ran from officers on foot after officers in marked police cars advised him to stop.

“Officer T. Smith advised him to stop and announced ‘Police’ but the suspect fled on foot to try and get away,” said Det. Greg Ogdahl with SJPD. “While the suspect was being chased he was told again to stop but continued to run.  The suspect had two active warrants at that time a city warrant and a parole violation warrant.”

Banks is set for an arraignment Friday.  Bond is set in the amount of $5,000.
