About 9 p.m. Saturday in Madera, police came upon a stolen car in the 100 block of Monterey Street. As officers approached the car, a man was spotted running away.
At first, he evaded capture, said police Sgt. Dan Foss. But minutes later, a tipster told officers that the man was at his home in a nearby apartment complex.
When police arrived, the man jumped through a rear window and applied a coating of black paint from an aerosol can. Officers found him within a block of his home. He was trying to hide against a white wall, so he really stood out, Foss said.
