(KNZA)--On Monday, two days prior to the naming of Joshua Heideman as a person of interest in what authorities call recent criminal activity in Brown and Jackson counties, the Centralia resident fled from the scene of a traffic stop made by a Brown County Sheriff's Deputy.
That allegation is explained in a release issued Thursday by Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, one day after authorities, including Merchant and Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, put out the call to the public for assistance in locating Heideman.
According to Merchant's release, it was early Monday morning, around 12:45, when a Brown County Sheriff's Deputy stopped a vehicle in the area of U.S. Highway 36 and Hopi Drive, in Hiawatha.
Heideman is named as the lone passenger in the vehicle, with Merchant's release saying he fled from the traffic stop on foot.
The driver, 65-year-old Hiawatha resident Leonard Bindel, was arrested on charges of flee and attempt to elude and drive while license cancelled, suspended, or revoked.
Anyone with information regarding Heideman's whereabouts is asked to contact the Brown County Sheriff's Office, 785-742-7125 or the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, 785-364-2251.
