Arthur David Smith III, 31, of Philadelphia, admitted to smoking methamphetamine and marijuana a few hours before jumping out of a moving cab because he thought someone was going to kill him early Saturday morning, according to an affidavit filed by Old Lycoming Township police.

It was the man’s second encounter with police within a few hours.

Police said they first made contact with Smith around 9:40 p.m. Friday for reports of a man standing in the middle of Lycoming Creek Road, blocking traffic.

Police were called to the 1900 block of Lycoming Creek Road again just before 3 a.m. on Saturday by a cab driver saying Smith jumped out of his cab without paying the $13.10 he owed.

On their way to the area where the cab driver last saw Smith, police said they saw a man matching his description standing in the southbound lane of Lycoming Creek Road with his hands in the air shouting, “Someone is going to kill me … they’re after me, trying to kill me.”

Police approached him and told him he needed to get out of the road before he got hit, but he started running north towards Mill Lane, police said.

When the officers were able to speak to him in the median of the road, Smith still was saying he was being hunted and ran off again through all four lanes, police said.

Smith was uncooperative and resisting police when they were attempting to handcuff him, according to the affidavit.

After several warnings, police had to use a stun gun on him, they said.

Police found marijuana and paraphernalia on Smith while taking him into custody.

The cab driver, Jonathan Konoski, told police Smith was acting “buggy” when he picked him up from Williamsport Regional Medical Center at 2:45 a.m.

Smith allegedly told Konoski that he was driving the wrong way down the street before jumping out, police said

Smith was arraigned by District Judge Gary A. Whiteman on charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, possession of a small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia.
