Prior to police arrival, Delorenzo threw a rock at the front door of the business, shattering the glass, officials say. Delorenzo was attempting to kick the rest of his way through the door when he was confronted by officers, according to the Monticello Police Department.

Delorenzo then allegedly ran from officers when he was advised he was under arrest. Delorenzo was warned multiple times to stop running but disregarded the officer's commands, police say.

Delorenzo allegedly ran from officers which forced Monticello Sgt. Matthew Rohner to release his Police K-9 “Deca”, who quickly ran down Delorenzo and apprehended him, officials say.
