Mahanoy City man flees police

A Mahanoy City man was arrested after attempting to flee from police.

State police observed 26-year-old Cyril Stofanik Jr. driving at a high rate of speed on State Route 339, between Brandonville and Mahanoy City Sunday.

When troopers tried to stop him, Stofanik fled. With the assistance of Mahanoy City police, he was stopped in Mahanoy City, near the Kaier’s Brewery without incident.

Stofanik's car had a stolen license plate on it, he was also driving under a suspended license, and his inspection sticker was expired.

Charges will be filed against Stofanik later.
