Around 10 a.m., police said officers were near the 2600 block of St. Johns Boulevard following up on a lead for the suspect’s whereabouts when they located a man matching his description. Authorities said Aguilar was sleeping in a car at a residential property.
Aguilar was charged with first-degree assault and car theft.
On Wednesday, students at the college who spoke with KOIN 6 News were shaken up over the incident, with many recalling what the campus was like when it briefly went into lockdown Tuesday. The suspect fled as police released images of him to the public from surveillance footage in hopes of locating him.

However, the woman screamed and he ran away. Clark College security responded and later relayed this information to Vancouver police.
