Police were led on a search through Dorney Park this weekend after a man wanted on multiple arrest warrants jumped a fence in an attempt to escape.

Backup was called as police surrounded the park, establishing a perimeter to prevent any further escape.

The suspect was followed throughout the park using surveillance, and eventually found inside a restaurant during a search by police. Burgess was wanted on an active felony warrant and probation violation. Police say he had also skipped out on bail. He was taken into custody without further incident, and is being held at Lehigh County jail on current and previous criminal charges.
