(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man, who escaped police custody after being arrested Sunday night following the report of a burglary in progress, is back in custody and facing new charges.
Hiawatha Police Chief Mickey Gruber said an officer was dispatched to the Country View Apartments at 206 East Miami Street in Hiawatha around 10:30 Sunday night, and after they arrived and secured the scene, 33-year-old Troy Enke was taken into custody.
Gruber said although the officer secured Enke in his patrol vehicle, the suspect was able to free himself, fleeing the scene while the officer was gathering physical evidence and information from victims and witnesses.
Several other law enforcement agencies assisted in the search for Enke, but he was not located.
However, according to Gruber, Enke was taken into custody without incident Wednesday by Hiawatha Police after he appeared for a scheduled hearing in Brown County District Court in a previous case against him.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill filed a 10-count criminal complaint against Enke Wednesday in connection with Sunday's incident. He was charged with attempted aggravated burglary, four counts of criminal threat, interference with law enforcement, two counts of criminal damage to property, misdemeanor theft and disorderly conduct.
Enke remains held in the Brown County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
