PHOENIX -- One man was arrested Friday afternoon in a carjacking that began near Seventh Street and Interstate-17 and ended at 20th Street and Broadway Road, police said.

Roy Eugene Evans II, 34, of Peoria, was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on numerous misdemeanor and felony charges including, resisting arrest, aggravated assault on a police officer, carjacking, assault, criminal damage, and felony flight. Other charges may also be pending as well.

Officers quickly caught up to the car and followed it on the freeway, then on surface streets.

Evans bailed from the vehicle and was caught a short time later, officers said. Evans still had the handcuffs on his one wrist when he was taken into custody by Phoenix Police around 4:24 p.m., investigators said.

The incident began when an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer stopped a vehicle driven by Charles B. Smith, 26, of Avondale, Ariz., on Watkins Street near 16th Street south of the I-17, said DPS Officer Robert Bailey.

The officer was in the process of taking the man into custody for alleged drug violations and had handcuffed one wrist when the suspect began struggling and broke free, Bailey said.

"Our officer pursued the suspect on foot for a short time," Bailey said. "The officer returned to the suspect vehicle where he took the Smith into custody."

Another DPS officer saw the fleeing suspect carjack a person in a pick-up truck who was stopped at a red light, Bailey said.

The situation ended when Evans bailed out and was eventually captured.
