Upon the deputy’s arrival they observed a male, later identified as Cedric Sennett, matching the description provided. As the deputy attempted to speak with Sennett he fled on his bicycle. The deputy gave chase on foot and as the deputy attempted to detain him, Sennett began to fight with the deputy and during the struggle he pulled a gun on the deputy. The deputy was able to disarm Sennett and gain control of the firearm. Sennett again ran from the deputy. The deputy gave chase and was ultimately able to arrest Sennett.
