The Sheriff’s Department arrested a man on Lake Chickamauga Wednesday morning who was wanted by the Soddy Daisy Police Department.

At approximately 9:50 a.m., the Soddy Daisy Police Department issued a BOLO alert regarding a red Chevrolet pickup truck belonging to Jason Lamar Schleif who fled the scene of the domestic incident on Barbee Road prior to the arrival of law enforcement.

A search was launched in the immediate area, including in the water, as it was believed that Schlief had left in a boat and may still be nearby. In addition, a Command Post was established and personnel from the Traffic, Special Operations, Marine Patrol and UAS (drone) Units responded to the scene. Hamilton County Emergency Management (EMA) personnel also responded to assist with drone operations.

After a short search, Schleif was located by deputies on a boat across the lake near Chester Frost Park where he was safely taken into custody without incident. He was then transferred to the custody of the Soddy Daisy Police Department to address the below outstanding warrants associated with their agency.

These include aggravated assault, interfering with a 911 call, false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and vandalism.
