Officers arrived within minutes and found Ford running from the market through the Apex winery property. He was chased down on foot by two police officers.Police said the check at first looked to be good, however upon closer examination officers determined the check to be a fake. Ford's identification was also fake, said Hernandez.Ford was booked into the Alderwood jail on charges of forgery, criminal impersonation and resisting arrest.
