FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Fort Wayne police arrested a 27-year-old man with multiple active warrants Sunday afternoon after receiving an anonymous tip that he was in Freimann Square.
According to the Fort Wayne Police Department, dispatchers received a call around 2:11 p.m. from a person who wished to remain anonymous. The caller reported that Tyrone Hughes, who had outstanding warrants, was in the downtown park and provided officers with a detailed description of what he was wearing.
Police confirmed that Hughes had two active warrants — one for violating probation related to four counts of battery on a public safety official, a Level 5 felony, and another for failing to appear in court on a Class B misdemeanor criminal mischief charge.
Responding officers located Hughes in the park and took him into custody without incident. He was transported to the Allen County Lock-up, where he was booked on his warrants.
The Fort Wayne Police Department said all media interviews are recorded in full to provide the public with unedited access to information about police activity.
