Suspect Caught in Gas Theft After West End Chase

The 7-Eleven at 704 Congress Street reported a theft of gas on July 30th at 9:15 PM, and gave police the name of Daniel Knight as the person responsible. Police arriving at the scene saw Knight in his truck on Congress Street shortly after the call came in. Knight turned onto State Street, then onto Pine Street and into an alleyway, where he stopped.

According to police, Knight exited his vehicle and began to run. He was not compliant when police ordered him to stop. He was caught, arrested, and tallied up a number of charges including theft, failure to stop for a police officer, refusing to submit to arrest, operating after suspension, illegal attachment of plates (the plates of the truck belonged on a different vehicle), and violation of bail conditions.
