When ordered out, one hid and the other ran from the scene, but was captured.

Both suspects were arrested for drunk in public, trespassing, and resisting arrest.

"Thanks to our allied agencies who assisted us with setting up a perimeter and providing air support and additional sets of eyes," San Mateo police said on Facebook.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
