As Deputy Todd Leasure’s wife called 9-1-1, the deputy went out to his vehicle to retrieve his wife’s gun. He returned to the restaurant, ordered the suspect to the ground and held him there until Springfield police arrived.
Additionally, the grand jury indicted Anthony W. Shirk, 35, for allegedly failing to register as a sex offender.
He was listed at large by the sheriff’s office because they didn’t know his address after he was released from prison earlier this month. With the help of the U.S. Marshal’s SOFAST Taskforce, Shirk was located working at the Clark County Fairgrounds and taken into custody April 18.
Shirk’s mandatory registration as a sex offender stems from a 2004 unlawful sexual conduct with a minor case.

Michael E. Wollum, 28, 1017 W. Pleasant St., possession of heroin.
