On March 3, 2026, at approximately 2:10 AM, officers with the Lock Haven City Police Department were on routine patrol in the area of the 7-Eleven gas station when they observed a vehicle rapidly accelerating with a loud exhaust, spinning its tires, and swerving along Bellefonte Avenue.

Officers attempted to catch up to the vehicle, which continued to be operated in a reckless manner. A traffic stop was subsequently initiated at the intersection of Huston Street and High Street in Flemington.

During the stop, the operator—identified as a 17-year-old juvenile—became hostile and refused to comply with lawful instructions. According to police, the situation escalated as the juvenile yelled and actively resisted arrest, creating a hazardous condition for officers and others in the area.

The juvenile has been charged with the following:

Resisting Arrest or Other Law Enforcement (M2)

Four counts of Disorderly Conduct (M4)

Reckless Driving (S)

Careless Driving (S)

No additional injuries were reported.
