A Salina man was arrested after he led deputies on a foot chase when they tried to serve a warrant Tuesday evening.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that deputies went to a residence in the 1000 block of E. Iron Avenue just before 8 p.m. Tuesday to serve a felony probation violation warrant on Joshua Hayes, 39. When they arrived, they found him outside the residence and attempted to arrest him on the warrant.
Hayes allegedly struck one of the deputies and took off running, Soldan said. Deputies tased Hayes as he attempted to climb over a fence and caught up with him shortly thereafter.
While taking Hayes into custody, the deputies allegedly found him to be in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine and a needle, Soldan said.
Hayes was arrested on the following requested charges in addition to the warrant, Soldan said.
●Possession of methamphetamine
●Possession of drug paraphernalia
●Felony obstruction
●Battery of a law enforcement officer
