Audrain sheriff: Fugitive arrest required big response

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Audrain County's sheriff posted on social media Wednesday that the arrest of a Marion County, Missouri, fugitive led to the large response in Vandalia the night before.

Sheriff Matt Oller wrote in the post that deputies got reports about a wanted man in the area of Home Street and Central Avenue in Vandalia late Tuesday into Wednesday. The man was later identified as Scott J. Adams, 41, of Bowling Green, wanted for a misdemeanor sexual abuse charge out of Marion County.

Law enforcement officers set up a perimeter and "methodically" searched it, Oller wrote.

Adams was arrested at Walsh Boulevard and Lincoln Street, Oller wrote. An MSHP trooper suffered a leg/ankle injury and was taken to University Hospital, though Oller didn't give more details about the injury.
