A deputy had to chase down a man on foot after he tried to avoid being arrested.

26 year old Nathaniel Dylan Tippens of Morgan Drive Smithville is charged with resisting stop, frisk, halt, arrest. His bond is $7,500 and he will make a court appearance on April 11.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on March 27 a deputy approached Tippens on College Street in Liberty to serve active warrants against him. When told he would have to go to jail, Tippens ran from the deputy trying to get away. The deputy gave chase for about 100 yards before catching up with Tippens and placing him in custody.
