A Walton man was arrested after leading Indiana State Police Troopers on a pursuit in Miami County.

Just after 4:15 p.m., a trooper was patrolling Wallick Road near County Road 300 South. Trooper Kern and Trooper Andrew Baldwin stopped a 1996 Dodge truck at a nearby residence after observing the driver who had active felony warrants out of Miami and Cass Counties.
