(Adair Co) A Greenfield man was arrested on multiple charges and warrants on November 24th.
The Adair County Sheriff’s Office says 36-year-old James Robert Lyman was observed by law enforcement walking in the 200 block of SE 5th Street in Greenfield. Lyman had several active warrants out for his arrest that dispatch confirmed were still active. When Lyman saw law enforcement coming towards him, he took off running. He was eventually located inside of a garage in the 400 block of SE Jackson Street. Lyman took off running again and law enforcement deployed a taser device to get him to comply. After the taser was deployed, Lyman turned around and threw what was later identified as a cell phone at law enforcement and kept on running. He then tried to run up onto the front porch at 311 SE Jackson Street where he was taken into custody. While searching Lyman for safety reasons, a broken glass pipe used to inhale methamphetamine was located inside of his pants pocket. There were also three hypodermic syringes located inside of a pocket on the coat he was wearing.
Lyman was taken to the Adair County Jail on the charges of Interference with Official Acts, Trespassing, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Assault on a Peace Officer as well as on the multiple Adair County warrants that include charges for Eluding, Possession of a Controlled Substance 3rd or Subsequent Offense, Driving While Barred, Operating a Vehicle without Owner’s Consent, Interference with Official Acts, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Reckless Driving, Leaving the Scene of an Accident – Property Damage Only, Failure to Maintain Control, and Failure to Obey Stop Sign and Yield Right of Way. Most of those charges stem from an incident on October 1st after Lyman eluded law enforcement and crashed his father’s truck, which he did not have permission to drive. Lyman fled the scene and was unable to be located by law enforcement. Methamphetamine, a pipe, a scale and syringes were located in the vehicle.
Lyman also had a Department of Corrections warrant for Violation of Parole and a warrant out of Polk County for Possession of a Controlled Substance 2nd Offense and Driving While Barred – Habitual Offender.
Lyman was held on no bond for the Department of Corrections warrant; no bond on the Polk County warrant; $15,000 cash or surety bond on the Adair County warrants; and $1,000 cash or surety bond for the incident on Thanksgiving Day.
