People flee police for many reasons, often to avoid arrest for existing warrants, possessing illegal items, or for the crime they've just committed. In this story, Christian Fuentes was on a stolen bike, which likely motivated his attempt to escape. The decision to flee can lead to more serious charges than the original offence.
