A man wanted on a warrant for a parole violation with an original charge of homicide was arrested in Starke County Saturday night.
Starke County Sheriff’s Department officers were dispatched to a domestic complaint in the 900 E. block of 225 S. just before 7:15 p.m. CT. When officers arrived at the scene, they found that such an issue did not take place, but an investigation reportedly found that 54-year-old Anthony L. Middleton was wanted on a nationwide warrant through the State of Florida for a parole violation for homicide, according to the report.
Police say Middleton fled as they arrived on scene. The Starke County K9 team and Knox City Police were requested to assist in the search. With the use of thermal imaging and K9 Tayson, Middleton was arrested without further incident, according to the report.
Middleton was transported to the Starke County Justice Center to await extradition by Florida authorities.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty in a court of law.
