A man wanted on an outstanding warrant in Vermillion County was taken into custody after crashing a vehicle into a utility pole in western Vigo County early this morning.

Tadd Wilson, 29, of Clinton, was transported to the Vermillion County Jail after Vigo County Sheriff's deputies located him a short time later. In addition to his charges in Vermillion County, he is also facing a charge of leaving the scene of a property damage crash from today's incident.

Deputies responded to a call regarding the one - vehicle accident in the 2600 block of Barnhardt Road in West Terre Haute.  The 2005 Pontiac passenger vehicle was crashed into the utility pole --- without the driver in it --- when deputies arrived on scene. Further investigation revealed the vehicle was recently reported stolen.

Wilson  reportedly admitted to being the driver of the vehicle, which belongs to his mother. She opted not to pursue an auto theft charge against her son, according to the report.
