An unidentified man fled a vehicle during a routine traffic stop in Salinas early this morning. A Salinas Police officer pulled over a vehicle for expired registration while patrolling on Homestead Avenue, but when the car stopped, a man emerged from the passenger side and took off running. Salinas Police set up a perimeter in an attempt to locate the man, but he couldn’t be found. It is unclear why he decided to run in the first place. The driver of the car received a citation for the expired tags.
