John Wilson

John Wilson (WHO)

One of Des Moines' most wanted is behind bars after a stand off with police Thursday night. Police arrested 37-year-old John Wilson for three outstanding theft warrants.

Around 9:30 p.m. Thursday night Des Moines' parole and probation division showed up at Wilson's home at 4123 40th Street. Police say Wilson answered the door, saw the officers and then ran to his basement where he barricaded himself.

Officers called for backup, saying Wilson has violent tendencies and could be armed and dangerous. A police dog later found Wilson and bit him in the leg.

Police then arrested him without incident and took him to an area hospital with minor wounds.

Wilson was wanted on a $9,000 bond.
