Suspicious person complaint in Fancy Farm leads to foot chase and arrest

A suspicious person complaint led to a foot chase and eventual arrest of a wanted Farmington man Thursday.

The Graves County Sheriff's Office said they received a complaint of a suspicious person loitering around a parked car in Fancy Farm on the old St. Jerome school property. 

Sheriff Jon Hayden responded and was able to identify the man as 41-year-old James M. Majors of Farmington, as Majors was wanted on arrest warrants.

Sheriff Hayden said he attempted to place Majors under arrest, but he took off running. Majors was caught and placed under arrest after about 150 yards. A citizen who witnessed the incident assisted the sheriff in getting the suspect handcuffed. 

Majors was arrested on his outstanding Graves County warrants as well as fleeing or evading police.
