The incident began at 1:20 p.m. when officers in a California Highway Patrol cruiser exited Interstate 205 on Tracy Boulevard and saw two men standing beside a 1990 Acura Integra in the parking lot of the Quality Inn.
When the men spotted the officers, according to CHP public affairs officer Bob Rickman, they ran toward the back door of the inn. One was caught, but the other escaped by hopping into nearby backyards, eventually leading officers toward a neighborhood near the intersection of Buthmann Avenue and Gabriel Drive.
The suspect in custody was arrested and taken to San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp after the CHP found that the Integra had been reported stolen out of Hayward. He was booked on suspicion of possessing stolen property.
Drugs and suspected stolen property were found inside the Acura, Rickman said.

Rickman said anyone with information about the suspect can call 943-8600.
