LONGMEADOW — Police arrested a Florida man late Thursday night following a day-long manhunt that began with a vehicle pursuit and crash earlier in the day.

Ryan Christopher Duncans of Pompano Beach, Florida, was arrested at the Pride gasoline station in Longmeadow at about 11 p.m., according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.

He is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, failure to stop for police, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene, failure to stop at a stop sign and marked lanes violation.

Police said the suspect was wanted in connection with a vehicle break-in that occurred Thursday. Police, as of Friday, said they continue to investigate that part of the incident.

Although police originally reported the suspect was driving a stolen vehicle, they later learned he had authorization to drive it.

The incident began in the Englewood Road area Thursday morning. Springfield police and a state police helicopter participated in the search for the suspect.
