Former Fugitive in Court Today

A man who was picked up by US Marshals as a fugitive from justice last month near Towanda was in District Judge Dominic Cercone’s office to face a number of charges.

25-year-old Tony Ray Ford was allegedly found on September 28, 2008, with a coax cable stolen from Atlantic Broadband.

Then on October 31, 2008, he was riding a bicycle on a Main Street sidewalk when police told him not to. He rode the bike across the street in front of the patrol car, then started riding on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. When police stopped him, he gave them a false, name, address and phone number.

When police arrested him on a felony warrant and told him he would also be charged with lying to police he said, “I am allowed to say I am my brother.”

He’s jailed $250 bail.

Ford is also facing charges in West Virginia for allegedly sexually abusing a 4-year-old girl in November of 2009.
