Might want to verify and correct the location at which the apprehension of this individual occurred. The stated intersection of 18th and Wilson is nonexistent.

Considering the location of the crash and the subsequent foot pursuit, I think it may have been 18th and HUDSON where the arrest was made.

Thank you for your reporting.
I just hope that the ARREST REPORT is accurate and the arrest won't be thrown out on a technical foul.
