Police Arrested Cody Dean Patton

 On May 28 around 1:46 p.m., Evansville Police Officers were called to Animal Control at 815 Uhlhorn St. for a subject on scene who had a felony warrant out of Kentucky. There was also an alert that stated the male, Cody Dean Patton (24), was armed and dangerous. 

  When Patton noticed officers arriving, he fled out the back of the building. Patton continued to flee across the greenway, swam across Pigeon Creek and then forced entry into a residence at Diamond Place Apartments. Patton was eventually located in a yard barn on Meyer Circle.

 When Patton fled from officers he was wearing a white shirt and jeans but while running through apartments, he had changed clothing. When he was finally caught he was wearing a flannel shirt and a sombrero, in an attempt to elude authorities.

  The search for Patton took nearly 3 hours and was a collaborative effort between the Evansville Police Department’s K9, Drone, Viper, SWAT, and Motor Patrol Units. 

 Patton is currently being held in the Vanderburgh County Corrections Center until he can be extradited to Kentucky.
