MUNCIE, Ind. A Muncie man wanted on arrest warrants issued in Madison County was arrested this week after leading city police on a high-speed chase.
Based on the events early Sunday that led to his arrest, Phil Brandon Rodriguez, 38, faces preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement in a vehicle, reckless driving and driving while suspended.
A city officer said a license plate check showed Rodriguez was the target of three Madison County warrants, accusing him of escape, failure to return to lawful detention and failure to register as a sex or violent offender.
