On May 23, 2023 shortly before 9:00 pm, police stopped a male pedestrian in the 700 block of 10th street. The male provided a false name to avoid arrest, as police learned he was wanted on outstanding charges of Utter Threats, Resist Arrest X2, Possess Weapon, Fail to Comply with Undertaking, and Fail to Attend Court X2.
