LAGRANGE COUNTY, Ind. – Deputies from the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Office were serving an arrest warrant to Dusty Edmondson on Friday around 1 p.m. in the 2400 block of State Road 3 when a foot chase broke out.

Officers were speaking to Dusty when he took off north on State Road 3.

Deputies attempted to use a taser on Dusty but it wasn’t effective so K9 Klara was brought on scene.
