PRESQUE ISLE — A man wanted on outstanding warrants was tracked down by the Presque Isle Police Department’s K-9 and his handler and arrested Friday night.
Officer Joey Seeley, PIPD, received a tip Sept. 14 indicating Sean Levasseur, 29, of Presque Isle, was at a residence on the Chapman Road. Seeley went to the home around 2 p.m. and observed Levasseur running from the residence into a wooded area.
