Patience pays off for Janesville police when they find a suspect hiding in the trunk of a car. Sergeant Josh Norem says officers were watching a home on East Racine Street about Midnight Thursday hoping to find a 33-year-old Janesville man wanted on a Department of Corrections Warrant. When a car left the residence about 1:00 a.m., officers pulled it over in the parking lot of a nearby gas station. They say Royal L. Powell was hiding in the trunk. Norem says when Powell was removed from the car, he threatened officers, refused to get into the squad car, and kicked the windows and an officer. During the incident a crowd began to gather and caused a disturbance. Additional officers responded and several arrests were made.
