Man Wanted in Indianapolis Found in Massac Co.

An man wanted in Indiana for escape and battery was taken into custody in Southern Illinois early Thursday afternoon.

Massac County Sheriff Ted Holder says a call came in Tuesday from the Indianapolis Police Department that 29-year-old Amos Crenshaw had escaped and may be on his way to Joppa.

Deputies began a search for Crenshaw that afternoon, and spotted him at 12:30 pm Thursday at a residence on Main St. in Joppa.

Holder says Crenshaw was taken into custody without incident. 

He was facing a domestic battery charge in Indianapolis with a $100,000 bond when he escaped earlier this week.
