PINE CREEK TWP., Pa. (EYT) – Police say a Brockway man was taken back into custody on Wednesday after absconding during work release from the Jefferson County Jail.

Charges are pending through District Court 54-3-03.
Court documents indicate Noland has a history of criminal activity in the local region, with ongoing cases in Indiana and Elk counties and previous cases in Jefferson and Clearfield County.
