OWEN COUNTY, Ind.–A man who was wanted on several arrest warrants from multiple counties was arrested in Owen County Monday night.
State police say they were trying to find Andrew Bradley, 44, of Bloomington. Through “numerous investigative strategies”, they say they found Bradley at a farm on Smith Road in Owen County.
At about 7:30 pm, investigators say they drove toward the driveway. Bradley ran behind the house and through the fields while officers were a long distance away.
