WARSAW — A Warsaw man has been arrested for resisting law enforcement.

Anthony James Geib, 720 East Center St., Warsaw, was arrested June 16 and charged with one count of resisting law enforcement, a level 6 felony.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, an officer with Warsaw Police Department responded to a suspicious subject on a moped wearing a mask at the Wyndham Garden Hotel, located on Center Street, Warsaw. The officer observed a male subject standing next to a moped removing a rubber mask from his head. The officer also observed what appeared to be a fishing pole lying on the seat.

When the officer approached the male subject and asked what he was doing, the male subject took off on the moped, while the officer was commanding him to stop.

The officer activated his emergency lights and siren and pursued the male subject across Center Street, onto Eastlake Drive, traveling east on Pioneer Lane into Forest Park Addition, riding between mobile homes and into a wooded area.

Officers surrounded the area and located the moped. At that time, it was discovered that the item the responding officer originally thought was a fishing pole was actually an electric livestock prod.

Officers located the driver of the moped and identified him as Geib, who advised he fled because he knew there was a warrant out for his arrest and he did not have bail money to get out of jail. Geib had an active criminal warrant for fraud of a financial institution in Kosciusko County.

Geib was booked at the Kosciusko County Jail on a $10,250 surety and cash bond.
