Foot chase nets four in AmCan

Acting on a tip, Napa County Sheriff’s deputies on Thursday arrested the man who gave them the slip during a search in the Wooden Valley area on Tuesday.
Thursday afternoon, deputies took Robert Mack Kent into custody after a short chase in a residential area of American Canyon.
Kent had company during his ride in the patrol car to the county jail, as deputies arrested three other suspects in connection with an incident at the American Canyon location.
Kent’s woes started Tuesday when, according to officers, he tried to evict a woman from a residence in the 1000 block of Wooden Valley Cross Road. He was armed with a shotgun at the time.
Another man toting a shotgun was arrested at the scene Tuesday, but Kent fled when deputies arrived. They searched the area until late that evening but didn’t find any signs of Kent.
Investigators got a break in the case on Thursday, when they received a call informing them Kent was at a home on Frisbie Lane in American Canyon.
When deputies arrived at the home they found Kent, along with Christina Hendricks and Johnny Colcleaser, getting into a car that turned out to be stolen, sheriff’s Capt. John Robertson said.
When the trio saw the deputies, they ran. Kent and Colcleaser charged through the front door of the residence on Frisbie Lane, locking the door behind them. They then made a bee line out the back door and over a fence.
Hendricks was left out in the cold. By the time she reached the front door, Kent and Colcleaser had already locked it, leaving her standing face-to -face with two deputies.
Deputies chased the men and found one of them hiding under a car. The other was caught nearby, Robertson said.
Kent, 47, of Vallejo, was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest and violation of parole.
Colcleaser, 24, of Vallejo, was arrested on possession of stolen property, resisting arrest and violation of parole.
Hendricks, 33, of Vallejo, was arrested on possession of stolen property.
Deputies also took Andrew Stanley Jacla, 52, who was inside the Frisbie Lane residence, into custody
