Zachery Benedict was originally arrested for fighting on Main St. in Ottawa. Officers were taking Benedict to the city jail to be processed, but benedict had other plans in mind.
“When the officers were escorting Mr. Benedict into the jail, he broke free from the officers’ grasp and took off running through downtown Ottawa,” Captain Adam Weingarton said. “Deputies from the Franklin County Sheriff’s office and officers from the Ottawa Police Department searched the area and eventually located subject hiding in the basement of the Elks Club, was taken back into custody and transported back to jail.”
