MODESTO – A 28 year old man was arrested after a domestic violence incident Monday night, police say.
Sean Keith, a resident of Madera, was reportedly involved in a domestic violence incident on Oakshire Avenue. Officials say he sprayed the victim with mace, and fled before police arrived.
Responding officers gave chase, and quickly established a perimeter near Ellis Street and El Vista Avenue where the suspect ran to.
A resident in the area said Keith ran into her neighbor’s home, where the homeowner’s daughter was taking a shower. Police checked that home, a neighboring residence as well as the yards to make sure the suspect was not hiding in there. No one in either home was harmed, the neighbor said.
Authorities used a police drone and a K-9 during the search to attempt to locate the suspect. As they searched another neighboring property, police found Keith hiding in an RV. Officials say he had damaged a window and forced entry to hide in the vehicle.
Sean Keith was arrested and booked on charges including inflicting injuries on a spouse/cohabitant, vandalism, obstructing an officer, trespassing, and using tear gas as a weapon.
