38-year-old Tury Alvarado was arrested after police say they surrounded him in a field off Highland Springs and Wilson.

A Banning man with felony warrants out for his arrest was behind bars Wednesday, after a multi-agency effort helped reign him in, police reported.

Tury Alvarado, 38, was arrested Tuesday after police got a call of a suspicious person in the area of the Linda Vista Mobile Home Park, on Wilson Street near Highland Springs Avenue.

"When officers arrived, they saw a male ...who fit the description given by the reporting party, jump over the cinderblock wall on the north side of the park, onto Wilson Street," Banning police reported.
