Mesa police on Saturday arrested a man who had been wanted for months in connection with an assault case.
Orvil Gabriel Senday was arrested at his mother’s home, 562 W. 8th St., after briefly barricading himself inside the house.
Police said Senday had been wanted since December after punching a woman who had approached him about her missing cell phone. In that incident, Senday allegedly hit the woman in the face and then knocked her down and ran from the apartment where they had been talking. She was taken to the hospital where she needed six stitches.
Police found Senday at his mother’s home late Saturday night. He was booked on suspicion of aggravated assault. He also had two felony warrants outstanding.
