(KNZA)--A Falls City man wanted on a warrant for a felony drug offense was arrested in Brown County over the weekend.
Sheriff John Merchant says 41-year-old Arthur Hampton was taken into custody Saturday.
Merchant says deputies responded to the vicinity of 250th Road about ¾ of a mile east of Highway 73 following a citizen report of suspicious activity.
A deputy observed the area for a short time and located a male on foot near the area. Merchant says the individual wasn’t cooperating with deputies and then tried running away. A short foot chase ensued and Hampton was taken into custody on a charge of obstruction.
After his arrest, Merchant says it was discovered he was wanted on an outstanding Buchanan County, Missouri warrant for felony possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanor warrant, also from Buchanan County, for non-payment of child support.
Hampton was booked into the Brown County Jail.
