A Mont­pe­lier man was arrested Mon­day after the dri­ver of a reported stolen vehi­cle fled from the scene of an acci­dent east of Pleas­ant Lake. K-9 units from Orland and Ash­ley were brought in to search for the sus­pect. While the police dogs were track­ing him, mem­bers of the Steuben County High­way Depart­ment, who were work­ing in the area, reported see­ing a man match­ing the descrip­tion of the man walk out of some woods. 37-year-old Mark Henry Sidle was arrested and turned over to the Indi­ana State Police, who charged him with leav­ing the scene of a vehi­cle crash and for being in pos­ses­sion of a stolen vehi­cle. The whole thing is still under inves­ti­ga­tion and the Sheriff’s Depart­ment says addi­tional charges are possible.
