Thanks to quick and intelligent work by the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office, Harold “Lindsey” Brown, 52 is now in custody.
The arrest was made at the Speedway Gas Station on North Court Street in Circleville, around 12:30. According to the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office, a detective recognized Brown, a resident of Pickaway County, and called for additional units which included Sheriff Robbert Radcliff, before making the arrest. The call for additional units was intentionally performed by PCSO as to avoid a redux of Harold Brown’s escape from law enforcement two days ago.

We had the scene secured, and there wasn’t any chance of him resisting.”
US Marshals had been seeking Brown on a felony warrant. The Pickaway County Sheriff’s office told us that the charges involved Fugitive from Justice Warrants from Franklin
