Derek Eastlick, 37, of Mount Hope, who has been wanted for the past two weeks on outstanding warrants, was arrested while police were investigating a battery report at a home in Platteville on July 22. He was wanted on multiple charges and warrants through both Wisconsin and Iowa that include eluding police, driving with a revoked license and having an open container while driving. 

According to Platteville police, Eastlick was found in the house while they were checking out a battery incident. Once they knew he was there, they got a search warrant, but Eastlick reportedly jumped out of a window and ran off. 

Officers also set up a perimeter with assisting area-police tactical squads and arrested Eastlick a short time later.

Two people were taken out of the house. Police continue to investigate the battery incident.

Traffic was disrupted on Adams and Lancaster Streets for about four hours.
