Police in San Francisco arrested a man suspected of selling drugs in the city’s Tenderloin after a foot chase Wednesday evening.

According to agents, Kerlin Salgado-Ferrera was the subject of an investigation conducted in October by the department’s Narcotics Unit, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Army National Guard. During the investigation, officers obtained a search warrant for Salgado-Ferrera, his vehicle and his home in Oakland.
