Tioga County driver faces felony fleeing charge
Motorist Ronald Pulcher II, 43, of Galeton, was arrested and jailed on a felony charge of fleeing police plus two summary offenses following a three-mile pursuit with state troopers on Route 44 South in Cummings Township about 10:40 a.m. on May 29, according to an affidavit. Driving a 2026 Mazda CX50, Pulcher ended up abandoning the SUV on Torbet Lane in Watson Township after he drove over tire-deflation devices in the 4300 block of Route 44, police said. At the time of the pursuit, troopers had been told to look out for him and his car because he was allegedly “involved in criminal incidents in Potter County,” the court document stated. He was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Denise Dieter and initially jailed, but he has since been released on $100,000 bail.
