“His vehicle was located near the Big Timber Canyon Road by a Sweet Grass County resident who notified the Sheriff’s Office,” says the post. “While under surveillance, the man fled on Big Timber Canyon Road. Sweet Grass County Deputies pursued him until his SUV broke down. The man then ran on foot from the deputies. He was Tased and taken into custody.”

The post states Sisneros is the subject of an attempt to locate from Idaho Falls, related to a homicide on June 23rd.

Sergeant Bryan Lovell with the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office says officials have questions for the man, who is a person of interest in the case but not necessarily an official suspect.
