A 53-year-old transient man was arrested Tuesday morning, June 13 after a code enforcement officer spotted him trespassing at the abandoned Walmart store building at 1600 Mitchell Road and police learned he had a felony warrant issued for his arrest.

Tommy Nieto was spotted on the premises at 9:13 a.m. and officers were called. They intended to ask him why he was hanging around on the property when Nieto jumped on his bicycle and fled toward McDonalds. Officer Nathan Blakeslee was in the area and heard the radio traffic and intercepted Nieto near McDonalds and detained him. Nieto was found with the outstanding felony warrant for his arrest and was booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center.
