A Lancaster man wanted for burglary was arrested last month after evading police.
On March 31, Police charged Danielle Lamar Peay, 25, 1248 Old Greenbriar Drive, with alighting from a moving vehicle, resisting arrest and unlawful carrying of a pistol.

Officers began following a blue Ford Taurus about 2:50 p.m. that day after learning Peay was in the car.
Authorities were looking for Peay, who had an outstanding warrant for first-degree burglary, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.
