Sheriff: Man Led Deputies On Pursuit Before Being Apprehended

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said a man led deputies on a pursuit when they attempted to pick him up on an arrest warrant.

It began at 12:21 a.m. on Monday at a residence on Road 5-F in Leipsic.

The sheriff’s office said before deputies could serve the warrant on Joseph Saldana, 39, he got into his vehicle and fled the residence and a pursuit began.

The pursuit went on and off-road and through farm fields and eventually ended when Saldana’s vehicle became disabled in a field on Road 3, near Gilboa.

Saldana was taken into custody without further incident.
