CLEARFIELD – Clearfield County District Attorney William A. Shaw Jr. has announced Clearfield County’s Fugitive of the Week for the week of March 4.
Shaw identified the Fugitive as Mark Michael Quick, age 47, of South Second Street, Clearfield. Quick is wanted for failure to appear at plea and sentencing court on Jan. 8.
On May 9, 2012, Patrolman Crystal Panebianco of the Lawrence Township Police Department filed a criminal complaint, charging Quick with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while operating privilege is suspended or revoked, driving on roadways laned for traffic, restrictions on alcoholic beverages, driving vehicle at safe speed, careless driving, reckless driving, driving on divided highways and driving on the right side of roadway.
An affidavit of probable cause filed by Panebianco states that on April 7, 2012, the Lawrence Township police responded to the scene of a one-vehicle accident on state Route 153/U.S. Route 322 westbound.
