On January 17th at about 12:44 AM, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office received a tip on the location of a fugitive. The vehicle believed to be operated by the fugitive attempted to flee when a traffic stop was initiated for a moving violation. After a short pursuit, the driver lost control of the vehicle in the area of 210th Ave and 62nd Street, rural Monmouth. The vehicle entered a ditch, striking a fence. The driver fled on foot but was apprehended in a field.
Patrick Pence, 39 of Monmouth, arrested on a Warren County warrant for failing to appear in court for a delivery of methamphetamine charge, and is lodged in the Warren County Jail on the warrant bond amount of $10,000, 10% to apply. He was also charged with failing to signal when required.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Monmouth Police Department.
