Wanted Rape Suspect Arrested After Flirting With SF Police Officer
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) -- A man wanted on suspicion of rape was arrested after approaching a uniformed female officer on patrol and flirting with her, according to San Francisco Police.
The unidentified 26-year-old man was taken into custody over the weekend on a no-bail warrant for rape issued in Hayward.
Capt. Paul Chignell said the arrest came after the man tried to strike up a conversation with the female officer.
The officer was inside a parked police cruiser.
Chignell said the suspect asked the officer if she was married.
The officer said she wasn't available, but asked for the man's name.
A subsequent record check turned up the warrant, and the suspect was arrested.
