CLEARFIELD – Clearfield County District Attorney, William A. Shaw Jr. announced Clearfield County’s Fugitive of the Week for the week of Feb. 11.
He identified the fugitive as Heather Hepburn, 29, of Bennetts Valley Highway, Penfield. Hepburn is wanted for failure to appear at criminal call on Nov. 1, 2012.
On April 5, 2012, Officer Randall L. Young of the DuBois City Police Department filed a criminal complaint, charging Hepburn with driving under the influence of alcohol, careless driving, obedience to traffic-control devices and stop signs and yield signs.
An affidavit of probable cause filed by Young states that on Dec. 4, 2011, while on routine patrol, officers observed a vehicle fail to stop at a red light at the intersection of Main Street and West Long Avenue in DuBois City. Officers also observed the vehicle fail to stop at a posted stop sign while traveling at a high rate of speed.
Upon making contact with the driver of the vehicle, Young detected signs of impairment and requested that Hepburn perform field sobriety tests. After administering the field sobriety tests, Hepburn was transported to the DuBois Regional Medical Center for blood testing.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 25, 2012, at which time all charges were held for court. On Nov. 1, 2012, Hepburn failed to appear for criminal call, and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Hepburn is described as a Caucasian woman who stands 5 feet tall. She has hazel eyes and blond hair.
