The Madera Police Department was hard at work last week. 

MPD Officers made three separate arrests involving illegal narcotics possession, driving under the influence of alcohol, and a wanted felon who attempted to flee from officers on October 25.

During a prowler call, Brandon Black, 42, attempted to flee from Officer Jeremy McCool and Officer Daniel Ruby. Black was later located hiding in a backyard and arrested for several outstanding felony warrants.
