Early Sunday morning, deputies say they responded to the Lake Trust Credit Union at 3370 W. Shore Drive near Riley Street after getting a report that a man was breaking into an ATM. He took off in a vehicle.
Responding deputies found the car 'fleeing at high speed' and followed until the vehicle crashed into the median of US-31 near Barry Street. Then, deputies say the man ran away.
Authorities set up a perimeter and a police dog was called to the scene. The man was found hiding under industrial equipment, according to the sheriff's office. The suspect — later identified as Mavarez-Romero — was arrested and jailed.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for March 11.
