HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. — The Hancock County Sheriff's Office says a 48-year-old man wanted on warrants for multiple charges is in custody.
Deputies received a tip Wednesday around 7 a.m. that Russell Collins, who is wanted on multiple warrants in Marion County, was at a home near South County Road 400 West and West County Road 100 South, which is near New Palestine.
Deputies arrived at the home and spoke to the residents, who said Collins was there but had left through the back of the house and into a heavily wooded area.
The Hancock County Joint Tactical Team, Indiana State Police and Sugar Creek Fire Department then responded to the scene to search the home, surrounding woods and other buildings in the area but did not find Collins.
The search was called off around 11 a.m., but officers remained in the area out of precaution.
At 4:45 p.m., the Hancock County Sheriff's Office said investigators learned Collins may be at a residence on the southeast side of Indianapolis. The department notified IMPD, who found Collins and took him into custody.
Collins faces multiple charges, including domestic battery, criminal confinement, kidnapping, strangulation and intimidation.
