A Lake City man was in custody Wednesday after turning himself in after fleeing from deputies early Tuesday morning, authorities said.
Justin Lee McIntosh, 21, surrendered to jail officers Tuesday evening and was arrested on several outstanding warrants, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department said.
Earlier Tuesday morning, at about 3:30 a.m., patrol deputies went to his residence on Bolin Road near Lake City in an attempt to serve the arrest warrants. McIntosh broke out a side window of the home and fled from deputies—in his underwear, the Sheriff’s Department said.
McIntosh and a deputy struggled briefly before he managed to evade capture and flee into the woods. He was not located after a search. Deputies attempted to locate him at his residence throughout the day yesterday, but he was not found, Anderson County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Mark Lucas said.
Lucas said McIntosh turned himself at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday and was booked on the outstanding warrants, which include two Criminal Court capias for theft and criminal conspiracy and four arrest warrants for two counts of evading arrest, driving on a suspended or revoked driver license, and failure to appear. He also has a hold for Campbell County on warrants there.
Additional charges are forthcoming on the fleeing and resisting arrest incident, the Sheriff’s Department said.
McIntosh is currently being held in the Anderson County Detention Facility in Clinton on $122,500 bond.
