Arnold Wayne Brinker, 38, was extradited this week from Pennsylvania on a capias warrant for failure to appear in Calhoun Circuit Court on charges filed against him last April. He is in Central Regional Jail.
State Police took Brinker into custody after he ran following a traffic stop on US 33-119 near Speedy Mart, fleeing on foot across the swollen West Fork of the Little Kanawha with officers in pursuit.
Brinker was then charged with improper/expired registration, assault/battery without weapon on an officer, destruction/injury of property, DUI>.08, driving while suspended/revoked, no insurance, obstructing police with vehicle, and fleeing.
The man was allegedly "weaving in traffic" when a traffic stop was attempted by Cpl. J. B. Hunt.
The complaint said the man "seeked his dog on the officer."
Three officers went in hunt of the man, who was apprehended and placed in a cruiser near the Arnoldsburg Elementary School.
