A 28-year-old Salina man with multiple outstanding felony warrants was apprehended late Monday night thanks to having no rear reflector on the bicycle he was riding.

A patrol officer noticed a man on a blue BMX bicycle riding in the middle of the street in the 800 block of Windsor Drive at 11:30 p.m. Monday, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said Tuesday. The officer attempted to make contact with the man, but he rode the bicycle into the front yard of a residence and then took off on foot behind the residence, Forrester said.

The officer gave chase and was able to apprehend Cody Talbot in the backyard of another residence further south on Windsor Drive, Forrester said. Talbot had several outstanding felony warrants, two violations of the registered offender act, and an aggravated failure to appear, Forrester said.

While searching Talbot and the backpack he was carrying, the officer found slightly less than three ounces of methamphetamine and two handguns, Forrester said.

In addition to the outstanding warrants, Talbot was arrested on suspicion of the following, Forrester said.

• Possession with the intent to distribute a stimulant
• No drug tax stamp
• Possession of methamphetamine with prior conviction
• Criminal possession of a firearm by a felon
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Interference with a law enforcement officer
• Improper bike lamps or reflectors
