WINTERHAVEN, Calif. (KYMA) - The Arizona State Gang Police Task Force responded to a call involving a man hiding under a bridge near the Yuma Main Canal Tuesday evening.

Officers made several attempts to get the man to come out from under the bridge.

After safely removing him from the area, he was taken into custody, with officials on scene saying the situation stemmed from an issue out of Phoenix.

We've reached out to the Arizona Department of Public Safely for more information, and will bring you updates as they become available.
