A Lawrence police officer arrested a 23-year-old Lawrence man, who had warrants out for his arrest, Thursday morning after a short foot chase in southeast Lawrence.

Sgt. Ted Bordman, a patrol shift supervisor, said an officer at 8:25 a.m. Thursday recognized the man walking in the 2400 block of Haskell Avenue. The man ran away along 25th Terrace, eventually darting in between some houses. The officer followed him and apprehended him after a short foot chase, Bordman said.

According to jail records, the man, Keith David Williams, was booked into jail on two municipal court warrants and one district court warrant. He was also charged in municipal court with interference with duties of an officer related to the foot chase.
