The Marshall County Sheriff's Office said deputies were dispatched Sunday afternoon to US 68 West in reference to a man walking through the area, approaching homes, making obscene gestures to passing motorists and yelling at people. Deputies said the man, identified as 38-year-old Jeremy Don Hicks of Hardin, became agitated and started threatening officers and others.
When deputies tried to take Hicks into custody, he ran and a short foot pursuit ensued. Hicks was apprehended a short time later.
He's charged with fleeing or evading police, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, possession of marijuana, possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal mischief.
Hicks was booked into the Marshall County Jail.
