BUTLER TWP., LUZERNE CO. \u2014 A Scranton man is facing charges after an early morning incident that led to a police search in Luzerne County.<\/p>\n
According to Butler Township Police, officers were called to Four Seasons Drive in the Beech Mountain Lakes area shortly before 2 a.m. on March 19 after a vehicle was found in a ditch.<\/p>\n
Witnesses told police the driver claimed he was \u201con the run\u201d and said he had a firearm. Investigators later identified the man as 29-year-old Landon D. Davis of Scranton.<\/p>\n
Police say Davis, who was reportedly bleeding, ran into a wooded area before officers arrived. He was later spotted again by an officer but fled a second time.<\/p>\n
Authorities used a department drone to search the area and eventually located Davis near a storage shed.<\/p>\n
Officers say Davis appeared intoxicated and had a head injury. Emergency crews transported him to a hospital, but police say he became combative during the trip and jumped out of the ambulance near Hazleton City Police Headquarters.<\/p>\n
Hazleton officers took Davis into custody and remained with him as he was transported to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Police say no weapons were found during the investigation.<\/p>\n
Davis has been charged with public drunkenness and related offenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BUTLER TWP., LUZERNE CO. \u2014 A Scranton man is facing charges after an early morning incident that led…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":["post-145872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
