Police said a borough man led them on a two-hour foot chase Thursday afternoon in an attempt to elude a warrant for his arrest on six charges stemming from an unregistered vehicle.
A constable suffered minor injuries in the effort to capture Cody Christopher Strunk, 30, of 340 E. Third St.
Strunk was wanted after Chief Todd Owens filed misdemeanor charges of counterfeit documents, theft of moveable property, receiving stolen property and theft from a motor vehicle, and summary charges of unauthorized transfer or use of registration and fradulent use or removal of registration plates on Oct. 20.
In the criminal complaint, Owens said a registration plate was stolen from a vehicle belonging to William Ahrensfield and was found on Strunk's silver Jeep Liberty on Oct. 17.
When questioned, Strunk said a friend had given it to him, and he did not know the friend's name. Strunk said he didn't believe a vehicle should require a registration plate.
He attempted to engage Owens in a discussion on the Constitution and claimed to be a sovereign citizen, the chief said. Owens told him he must still obey by local and state laws, including the motor vehicle code.
