CLEARFIELD – District Attorney William A. Shaw Jr. has announced Clearfield County’s Fugitive of the Week. He has identified the fugitive as Dana Maines, 22, of Main Street, Big Run.
Maines is wanted for her failure to appear at criminal call Jan. 12, at which time a warrant was issued for her arrest.
On Aug. 4, 2016, Officer Derrick Welsh of the Sandy Township Police Department filed a criminal complaint, charging Maines with access device fraud, M1, two counts, and theft by unlawful taking, M2, two counts.
