Hakeem Jefferson, 32, of 907 Market St., Williamsport, has been arrested on charges of stealing a stolen rental car as well as fleeing a state trooper who was pursuing him, according to court records filed at the office of District Judge William Solomon, where he was arraigned last week on numerous charges.

The pursuit took place on the morning of Sept. 3 and began at Sheridan Street and Shiffler Avenue in Loyalsock Township, where a state trooper saw Jefferson, driving a 2025 Nissan Altima, run a stop sign. The trooper activated his cruiser’s emergency lights and siren, but Jefferson failed to stop and ran additional stop signs and ran a red traffic light before ditching the car near Shaw Place Park, in the city’s East End. It turned out the car was a rental vehicle that had been stolen from the city earlier the same morning, police said.

Jefferson, formerly of Danville, was arraigned on felony charges of fleeing and receiving stolen property as well as evading arrest plus 12 summary offenses. He remains jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail.
