The Brownwood Police Department issued the following press release Wednesday morning:
On Wednesday, Sept. 21 at approximately 12:20 a.m., officers were patrolling in the 1100 block of 1st Street when they observed a bicyclist traveling southbound without a functioning headlamp. The bicyclist began making evasive maneuvers as if to elude officers but was eventually stopped in the 1400 block of 2nd Street.
When the officers contacted the male subject, he identified himself as 20-year-old Jeremiah Jay Jones of Brownwood. A computer check revealed a warrant for his arrest for Surety Withdrawal / Criminal Trespass and a warrant for Theft.
When Jones was informed of the warrants, he began to attempt to flee on foot but was unable to separate himself from the officers. Jones was eventually taken to the ground and secured in handcuffs.
Jones was arrested for the warrants as well as for Evading and Resisting Detention.
