Deputies arrest man on warrant

Deputies out of the Sisters substation arrested Jason Lee Sparks, 20, on Monday, March 20, on a Tennessee warrant for car theft.

According to sheriff's office reports, Sparks was clocked at 76 miles per hour on Highway 20 east of Sisters. A deputy initiated a traffic stop for speeding.

The car was determined to be stolen and the deputy was informed that Tennessee had a felony warrant out on Sparks for the theft. The deputy called for back up and officers made a "felony stop" with guns drawn in the parking lot of Oregon Log Homes.

Sparks was taken into custody without incident and lodged in Deschutes County Jail, facing extradition to Tennessee.

The vehicle was seized and will be returned to the owner.
