Police in Lenox were involved in a foot pursuit Monday. Authorities say the chase began shortly after officers responded to an ambulance call at around Noon, Monday.

They later learned that one of the persons at the scene —  identified as 20-year old James Cody Simmons, of Indianola — was wanted on a Dept. of Corrections arrest warrant for violation of probation.

Officers were unable to locate Simmons, but at around 9:20-p.m., authorities received a call about  a suspicious male walking on the highway 1.5-miles south of Lenox. That person matched the description of Simmons. When officers responded to the area, Simmons ran into a field. After a foot pursuit, Simmons was taken into custody.

He was transported to the Taylor County Jail where he was charged with interference with official acts in addition to the warrant. Simmons was being held without bond in the Taylor County Jail.
