Bradford Man Escapes from Police Custody

A Bradford man kept Erie police busy Wednesday after escaping from custody while he was being questioned about burglaries in the city.

25-year-old Alex Wells, who had been in a prison pre-release center, fought with police investigating burglaries at Schmid Towers, then escaped while being interviewed at the Erie police station. Authorities say Wells was able to escape when a detective walked out of the interview room and the door didn’t lock properly.

Wells was on the run for about three hours. Police found him at around 5 o’clock at Boston Store Place.

Wells is now facing charges of escape and burglary, and is jailed on $50,000 bail.
