Man who fled police sought on warrants
MONTGOMERY -- A man who gave police a false name and fled from a cruiser earlier in the day was still at large Sunday night.
Montgomery police said Joe Cupp, 29, thought to be from the Norwood area, was taken into custody at Pfeiffer Road and Interstate 71 about 11 a.m. Sunday after the van in which he was a passenger was pulled over for having a sticker from another vehicle on the license plate.
Mr. Cupp gave police another man's name, they said, but because that man was wanted, they put him in the cruiser and drove to police headquarters. He fled from the cruiser when the door was opened. Police said Mr. Cupp is also wanted on outstanding robbery and domestic violence warrants from other jurisdictions.
Two other occupants of the vehicle, Gregory Ebersole, 27, of Norwood, and Eric Lyon, 27, of Deer Park, were charged with obstructing justice and displaying fictitious plates.
