Over the weekend, Madison Police Department made two arrests on several charges for two separate incidents on University Avenue.

600 block of University Avenue

Saturday evening, officers apprehended and arrested 21-year-old Derrick Johnson outside The Double U, according to a MPD incident report.

One of the responding officers had recognized Johnson outside of the bar as he was wanted on a warrant for operating a motor vehicle without owner’s consent. The warrant was issued May 30 when Johnson ran away from police after being pulled over in a stolen vehicle on Britta Parkway.

When Johnson saw the officers, he ran into the bar. The responding officers then proceeded to tackle him as he resisted arrest.
