PHOENIX — A couple of training officers got to detain a suspect without even leaving the Academy.

On December 14, Phoenix police say a man, later identified as Miguel Baltazar Leyva, was walking outside the locker room of the police academy, near 15th Avenue and Dobbins Road.

He was confronted and detained by two recruit training officers, who requested assistance.

Police say when Leyva was searched, officers found crystal meth in his possession.

Leyva has been charged with drug possession and criminal trespassing.
