TAYLORSVILLE — Police arrested a man with a long rap sheet after a short chase Monday evening.

Michael Gallegos, 28, was spotted by metro gang officers in West Valley City and sped away when police tried to stop him, said West Valley Police Lt. Lamonte Cox.

Gallegos was wanted on several outstanding warrants, police said.

"He was moving his way up the list," Cox said. "He was probably public enemy No. 3."
