A Madisonville man has been located and arrested a little more than a week after he ran from law enforcement.

Madisonville Patrolman David Wear said he was on patrol on Oct. 19 around 11:45 p.m. when he saw Michael Scott Stewart in a gray Saturn in the Wendy's parking lot. Wear said he knew Stewart had warrants for his arrest and attempted to stop his as he pulled onto Englewood Road.

Wear said Stewart took off in a reckless manner, nearly hitting several cars before turning onto Community Drive then onto Williamsburg Drive where he came to a stop in a gravel driveway and took off on foot.

Attempts to find Stewart were unsuccessful, despite using Sweetwater's K-9 unit in the search. Wear said a police scanner was found in Stewart's car, indicating he was listening to police traffic during the chase.

Stewart is charged with felony evading, possession of a police scanner while facilitating a felony and driving on a suspended license fourth offense.
