Fox fled on foot into a wooded area where the officer lost sight of him. W.P.P.D. received tips from citizens in the area which allowed officers to take Fox into custody.
Fox is being held on the active warrants for burglary, stealing, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of meth manufacturing material. His bond is $160,000.00.
Further charges will be pending from today’s incident.
The West Plains Police Department stated in a press release, “We want to thank everyone who helped apprehend Fox. We could not have done it without your help.”
