Bartholomew County deputies arrested a man who fled the county courthouse after being sentenced to jail time yesterday.

The sheriff’s department reports that 28-year-old Benjamin Yaryan ran away after being sentenced to six months in the jail for a probation violation. That was at about 3:45 p.m. yesterday afternoon.

He made it into the downtown area before being arrested near the library, according to police reports. Off-duty Deputy Jon Lanning was at the library and went outside to see Yaryan running from officers on Franklin Street. He detained the man until other police arrived.

Yaryan is now facing new charges of fleeing from law enforcement.
