A 22-year old Salem man was arrested this morning after fleeing from a Marion County deputy who was trying to arrest him for illegally entering parked cars. The incident occurred at 9:27am, near the intersection of Lancaster Drive and State Street in Salem.

Traffic Safety Deputy Casey Burnham was on patrol when a car owner flagged him down. She reported that a man had just entered her 2007 Dodge pick-up truck while it was parked at the Ritz Restaurant, 135 Lancaster Drive NE.

The woman pointed out the suspect, who was now running across Lancaster Drive toward the Walgreens store at 124 Lancaster Drive. Burnham followed the suspect into Walgreens and later spotted him as he came out of a dressing room, wearing nothing by a jacket. He was nude from the waist down.

Deputy Burnham attempted to arrest him, but he fled and resisted. As he fled, he discarded the jacket he was wearing. Witnesses assisted the deputy by pointing out the suspect's route as he fled. Burnham ultimately caught up with him and deployed a Taser to take him into custody.

Daniel Z. Gilani, who described him self as a transient, was booked into the Marion County Jail and held on charges of unlawfully entering a vehicle, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

It was determined that he was on parole for a prior conviction for possessing methamphetamine. His supervising Parole & Probation Deputy placed a parole violation detainer on him. He will appear in court on 10/17/121 at 3:00pm. Until then, he is being held without bail.
