An Ocala man found himself behind bars early Sunday morning after first fleeing from Marion County sheriff’s deputies on a bicycle and then on foot.

Deputies were conducting proactive patrols in the 5300 block of E Silver Springs Boulevard when they spotted 28-year-old Justin Anthony Manno riding a bicycle without any red or white lights. He was seen riding from the south side of the roadway to the north side and then westbound down the sidewalk, a sheriff’s office report states.

Deputies stopped Manno and he dismounted his bicycle and started yelling at them about being pulled over. He got back on his bike and started riding eastbound. Deputies then pulled up next to him in a patrol car and he dismounted his bike, yelled “I’m done” and started running southbound between a fence and building, the report says.

Deputies pursued Manno and gave him commands to stop running. He eventually was apprehended at the southwest corner of a building at 5280 E Silver Springs Blvd., where he was placed on the ground and handcuffed, the report says.

Manno begin to resist arrest by pushing off the side of the patrol vehicle. Deputies quickly regained control of him and he was placed in the backseat of the vehicle. After being read his rights, he told deputies he fled from them because has an active warrant, the report says.
