also I think I have to give a quick reason as to why the police MIGHT search for Stalker:
Stalker was contracted by a rather big shot detective to find and hunt down Rinzo Rani, who was not only able to steal from some of the most biggest jewelry stores in Republic City, but also evade The Police Department for the six months leading up to Stalker's contract. To give a brief backstory on Rani, he is a legend of the pro bending leagues Having won the championship 6 times in a row about ten years prior to the showdown between him and Stalker. Anyways as mentioned earlier our beloved bounty hunter was contracted to Find Rinzo Rani and stop him even if it meant Rani had to die. Of course this detective was contracting yours truly covertly, so as to not put the police department to shame. But Stalker believes that for some reason, this detective wanted him to specifically kill Rani, so that the RCPD could have an excuse to lock him up. Thus the reason why he went out of his way to ensure Rani only got knocked unconscious in hopes that the RCPD would not have a good enough reason to lock him up.
Do let me know if that makes sense or not. The OP can decide what the police do next. Zank you all. And uh sorry if the above doesn't make sense.
