A Mecosta man is in jail after trying to elude police.

Detective Casey Nemeth of the Mecosta Co. Sheriff’s Office says police were serving 36-year old Anthony Ward two arrest warrants when he fled on foot back into his home, locking detectives out. 

After attempts to talk Ward out of his residence failed, entry was obtained by police after a key-holder for the residence was located and he was taken into custody.

Ward was arraigned on his original two charges, along with his added Resisting and Obstructing Felony charge.

He remains in custody at the Mecosta County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
