BURBANK, Calif. -- A California parolee who fled after a hit-and-run crash in Burbank fell out of a tree and was arrested after a police standoff that briefly shut down Interstate 5.

Lt. Ed Ruiz said the suspect fell out of the tree at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday near the freeway's Burbank Boulevard exit.

Ruiz says the man, whose name hasn't been released, has an outstanding arrest warrant.

The man ran away after crashing a car at 11:30 p.m. Monday on San Fernando Boulevard near the freeway. Officers searching the area found him about an hour later in a tree near the freeway off-ramp.

The California Highway Patrol shut down Interstate 5 until they arrested the man.
