A Bowling Green man wanted on drug and escape charges, and for dragging a Bowling Green city officer in his vehicle during an attempted arrest, was captured with two other men Sunday afternoon.
A.C. Barnes and two other men were found in an apartment on McIntosh Street just off Campbell Lane in the city.
Police received a tip Barnes was in the apartment building.
They began negotiating with him to surrender just after 3:00 p.m. using a public address system. After a little more than an hour, the BGPD’s Critical Response Team ignited a so-called “flash-bang” explosive to disorient the men and they stormed the building.
There were no injuries reported during the capture.
Police had been looking for Barnes since his October 13th attempted arrest on outstanding drug charges. That’s when Barnes fled in his vehicle dragging the city police officer with his for a short distance. Police fired at least two shots at him then.
Barnes had a large bandage on his back at the time of Sunday’s arrest but it’s not known if that was due to the gunshots.
