The 32-year-old Monigold was arrested last March 24 after allegedly trying to steal a motorcycle in Mesa.

A chase through Chandler and Gilbert ended when the truck Monigold was driving rolled on Interstate 10 near Sun Lakes.

Authorities say Monigold also was wanted in connection with a March 19 hit-and-run in Marana.

They say he has previous convictions including misconduct involving weapons, theft and drug violations.
