An Auxvasse man wanted on felony warrants was arrested Wednesday, said Lt. Curtis Hall of the Callaway County Sheriff's Office.
A Mexico woman who gave false information about the man's identity was also arrested.
Deputies encountered the pair while conducting investigative patrols near county roads 323 and 334 near Millersburg. Michael Smith, 26, was wanted on a Callaway County warrant for felony possession of a controlled substance and Jefferson City municipal warrant for stealing.
He and the woman with him, Brooke Belmear, 31, initially told the deputies he was someone else, Hall said. She was taken into custody for hindering prosecution of a felony.
Both were taken to the Callaway County Jail, where Belmear was released after posting a court-set $1,500 bond. Smith's bond was set at $5,240.
