REYNOLDSVILLE BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) – Police in Reynoldsville recently took a man wanted on a warrant in Clearfield County into custody.
Court documents indicate the Reynoldsville Borough Police Department filed criminal charges against 29-year-old James Lawrence Uhl, of Brockport.
According to a criminal complaint, on March 27, Sgt. Murray of the Reynoldsville Police Department received a phone call from a Parole Officer stating he was driving on 10th Street and saw who he thought to be James Uhl who was wanted on a warrant in Clearfield County.
Chief Bell and Sgt. Murray then responded to the area and saw Lingenfelter on Willow Alley with a male and a female.
The officers approached Uhl and asked for his identification. According to the complaint, Uhl said he did not have it with him.
