A local man with multiple warrants was apprehended by a Columbus Police Department canine after he fled from officers on a bicycle Tuesday afternoon. Lt. Matt Harris, department spokesman, says that approximately 5:25 p.m., officers saw 21-year-old Sage Banks, of Columbus, in the 2800 block of 22nd Street. The officers confirmed that Banks was wanted on three local warrants. Banks allegedly fled on a bicycle with police in pursuit. Harris says that officers pursued Banks through a nearby apartment complex and later into the parking lot at Columbus Regional Health. During the chase, a police canine was deployed and was able to bring Banks down.

Banks was taken to Columbus Regional Health for medical clearance before being booked in the Bartholomew County Jail. In addition to the outstanding warrants, Banks is facing preliminary charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Possession of a Legend Drug Injection Device.
