STEUBEN COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO): Deputies in Steuben County are searching for a wanted man accused of trying to run over a deputy.

Steuben County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the West Otter Lake Public Access Site off of US 20 near SR 327 just before 1:30 a.m. Friday. Deputies received a tip that Vincent Chilcote, 21, was in the area in a pickup truck.
