The owner advised the man had gotten into his truck and the rear taillights were activated. Subsequently the man was reported to have exited the truck and was walking through the apartment complex. As officers were approaching the area, the suspect, later identified as Steven Ronald Fischer, age 20, fled the area and hid when he heard police.
