DeKalb County sheriff’s deputies are searching for two
individuals, one of whom fled from authorities on horseback, according to a
news release from Sheriff Jimmy Harris.
Harris said DeKalb 911 received a call Wednesday morning
about a man riding a horse and a female on a four-wheeler leading a horse. The
caller knew the two and said they didn’t own any horses.
When Deputy Jeff Bain located the subjects, they were on
Alabama Highway 117 and Alabama Highway 40. A warrant check found that the man,
36 year old Joseph Santiago, of
Rainsville, had outstanding warrants for third-degree criminal trespassing and
third-degree harassment. Bain attempted to arrest Santiago, but he fled on the
horse, going off the side of Sand Mountain.
Neither Santiago nor the horse was injured, but both he and
the woman got away. Harris said deputies know who the woman is, but her
identification is not being released.
Santiago is 6-feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds. Anyone
with information about the case is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at
256-845-3801.
