A Springfield man was arrested on a rooftop after he tried to flee from Police on March 27.
Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a silver SUV in the area of Martin Luther King Drive and Clearlake Avenue after observing multiple traffic violations.
The vehicle failed to stop and fled the area at a high rate of
speed.
The vehicle, which was determined to be driven by Clyde Wallace, 43, was located in the 2200 block of E. Spruce.
