Not guilty was the plea entered by a wanted Centerville man, who was captured in Knoxville during a police pursuit earlier this month.

25-year-old Cody Wayne Cole has been charged with interference with official acts, 2nd degree theft, and eluding, all Class D felonies, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to court records, the Knoxville Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a wanted man driving a stolen gray truck in Knoxville on Sept. 4th. When they tried to stop the vehicle, Cole tried to escape, but became trapped on a dead end street. He fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later.

Cole has several arrest warrants out of Appanoose and Lucas Counties. His next scheduled court date is Friday, Oct. 9th.
