An eastern Iowa man wanted by the U.S. Marshall’s Service on an outstanding Federal warrant, was arrested Wednesday evening in Guthrie County after a traffic stop and short foot pursuit.

During the course of the traffic stop, the deputy determined the driver of the vehicle, 53-year old Tony Hoffman, of Cedar Rapids, was wanted by the U.S. Marshall’s Service. During the traffic stop, Hoffman attempted to flee the deputy on foot. After a short foot chase, Hoffman was apprehended after the deputy deployed his Taser (an electronic immobilization device).

Hoffman was booked in on charges of Interference with Official Acts, Escape from Custody and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The United States Marshall’s Service has placed a detainer on Tony Hoffman, and he will be transferred to their custody at some point in the near future.

The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Panora EMS, the Panora Police Department, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Iowa Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Enforcement.
