Officers in APD’s helicopter saw Carter back into a driveway and run off. They kept following him until officers were able to catch up to him.
Video shows Carter run behind several houses as officers yell for him to get on the ground. They ultimately catch up to him on a back porch of a house.
As police are attempting to put Carter in handcuffs, he can be seen knocking on the house’s back door and calling for his grandmother. A short time later, a woman comes to the door as he is being arrested. He asks her to get his keys and his phone as he is on the ground being handcuffed.
