A 31-year-old Paris man with outstanding arrest warrants was taken into custody on Wednesday, but not until after a foot chase.
Waylon Glenn Gilbert, who lives at 1126 16th St. NE, according to Lamar County Jail records, was observed at a residence in the 1400 block of West Austin St., said police spokesman Curtis Garrett.
Officers were aware of warrants for his arrest, Garrett said. Gilbert ran from an officer and was apprehended after a short foot chase, which resulted in a charge of evading arrest – enhanced because he had a prior conviction for the same offense.
It was one of three arrests by Paris police on Wednesday on Class C misdemeanors.
Garrett said that was one of 122 calls for service that Paris police responded to on Wednesday.

Four people were injured, one seriously, in a three-vehicle accident about 7:15 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of South Collegiate Drive and south Loop 286, near the Paris High School campus.
Witnesses told Paris Police Department officers that a 1998 red Tacoma driven by a man identified as Dennis Johnson was going south on Collegiate and failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with the loop.
Police were told that as Johnson’s vehicle went into the intersection, it was first hit by a west-bound 2009 Toyota driven by Alton Sims, 69, of Paris, and then by an east-bound 2012 Dodge pickup pulling a utility trailer driven by Jeffery Gilbert, 35, of Paris.
Johnson was taken by helicopter to Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
Sims; his wife, Sherry; and Gilbert were taken by Paris EMS to a local hospital for treatment.
The investigation into the accident is continuing, police said.
From Friday through Sunday, Paris police answered 347 calls, arresting 23 people, Paris Police Chief Bob Hundley said.
One person was arrested on a parole warrant and one person was detained for mental evaluation.
The other arrests included misdemeanor arrests for municipal court warrants, assault, theft, possession of marijuana, DWI, unlawfully carrying a weapon, fighting and disorderly conduct.
