Hit-skip suspect arrested in Bellefontaine

The man wanted for a recent hit-skip accident south of Bellefontaine was arrested at his city residence Tuesday afternoon around 12:40.

Mateo Rosales (pictured), 30, of 217 North Madriver Street, was charged with a probation violation.

The arrest was made by the Logan County Joint Drug Task Force and the Adult Parole Authority.

He is a suspect from Monday afternoon's crash on Route 68 near Township Road 199.

The Marysville Post of the State Highway Patrol reports that a northbound 2005 Dodge Stratus allegedly driven by Rosales struck a utility pole around 2:30.

He fled on foot northbound, then headed eastbound on 199 into a field.

A State Patrol airplane searched the area, but Rosales eluded authorities.

The vehicle was reported stolen in Marysville on Monday.

Rosales was lodged in the Tri-County Jail in Mechanicsburg.

Charges from the State Highway Patrol and the Marysville Police Department are pending.
