Skarles and Jamie Rae Limberatos, 19, fled from Lodi Police detective Nick Welton after Welton spotted them at about 2 p.m. in a stolen Chevy Blazer.

After a short chase, Skarles jumped from the moving SUV, which rolled into a nearby home, causing minor damage to a flower bed. Skarles was later found hiding inside a refrigerator in a garage in the Tara Place neighborhood.

Limberatos was arrested for a local warrant, suspicion of auto theft and resisting arrest.
