A sighting of a man on Madison's Most Wanted"" community crime watch list near a downtown parking ramp helped authorities to arrest the suspect early Thursday.
Madison Police Department public information officer Joel DeSpain said a resident reported seeing 27-year-old Demetrius U. Jimerson of Portage around a parking ramp located on Frances and Johnson Streets at 12:50 a.m. Shortly after, a UW Police Department squad car spotted Jimerson's vehicle driving on East Johnson Street and the MPD then began to follow the vehicle, according to DeSpain.
Police made a traffic stop on Jimerson's vehicle in the 2100 block of Bashford Avenue on the city's east side. DeSpain said Jimerson had outstanding warrants for offenses including substantial battery, battery, disorderly conduct, second-degree recklessly endangering safety, in addition to three other warrants.
