Motorist Warren Wayman Swank III, 28. of 709 Musser Lane, Muncy, remains locked up on charges stemming from a high-speed pursuit with borough police on March 19 in which he traveled at speeds greater than 85 mph, according to court records filed at Gardner's office. The pursuit began after Swank, driving a 2014 Dodge pickup truck, ran two stop signs in the borough before fleeing west on Penn Street and continuing on Musser Lane while an officer pursued him with his cruiser's emergency lights and siren activated. The officer terminated his involvement in the pursuit after losing sight of the truck. Police eventually were able to obtain the truck's registration and talk to the owner, who told them that on the night of the pursuit, his sister, had the vehicle and that perhaps her boyfriend, Swank, was driving the vehicle at the time of the pursuit. Police allege that Swank was the driver.
He has since been charged with felony fleeing police and three summary offenses, including recklessly driving. He has waived his preliminary hearing and is jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail.
