CLEARFIELD – Clearfield County District Attorney, William A. Shaw, Jr., announced Clearfield County’s Fugitive of the Week for the week of Sept. 13, 2010.
Shaw identified the Fugitive as Angela Jean Owens, age 37, of Main Street, Woodland. Shaw stated that Ownes is wanted on two separate cases for failure to appear at criminal call.
On Sept. 6, 2006, Trooper Richard Hoover of the Pennsylvania State Police, Philipsburg Barracks, filed a Criminal Complaint charging Owens with: 1) driving under the influence of alcohol, M; 2) driving on roadways laned for traffic, S; 3) restraint systems; and 4) notice of address change, S.
An affidavit of probable cause filed by Hoover states that while on routine patrol on state Route 53 near Glendale Avenue, in Morrisdale, Hoover observed a grey in color Jeep Cherokee cross over the fog line and make several abrupt swerves while crossing the double yellow line before crossing back to the correct lane of travel. The vehicle was stopped after observing the vehicle for approximately two miles. Upon stopping the vehicle, Hoover detected a strong odor of alcohol on the driver’s breath, as well as other signs of intoxication. After administering field sobriety tests, Hoover took Owens into custody and transported her for a blood test.
A preliminary hearing was held on November 1, 2006, at which time Owens waived the charges to Court. On July 24, 2007, Owens failed to appear for Criminal Call and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
