A man is in custody after leading Pana police on a brief foot pursuit Monday morning.

According to the Pana Police Department, officers were notified around 11:44 a.m. by Christian County Probation that a recently released individual had tampered with and was believed to have removed his electronic monitoring device.

Police attempted to locate the suspect at a residence in the 600 block of South Poplar Street, but the man fled on foot through several yards before officers contained the search to the 700 block of South Maple Street.

Authorities say the suspect entered an unoccupied home at 712 South Maple Street. Officers, with authorization to enter the residence, found the man hiding on the second floor and took him into custody without incident at approximately 1:05 p.m. The electronic monitoring device was not located, and no one else was inside the home.

The 31-year-old suspect was evaluated by emergency medical personnel due to the extreme heat inside the residence after refusing to answer questions about his condition. He was transported to Pana Community Hospital for further evaluation.

Police say there is no ongoing threat to the public, and the area has been secured. The investigation remains ongoing.
