After fleeing, he was boxed in at a gas station at 15634 East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and taken into custody.

Deputies found two guns, fentanyl, meth, marijuana, cash and hundreds of plastic bags inside his car, the sheriff’s office said.

Reyes-Diaz now faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon and armed trafficking in fentanyl.
