(Update to the Press Release issued October 30, 2015)
Early this morning in Cheboygan County, Michigan, J. Tucker Harman, age 26, was apprehended on a Paulding County Common Pleas Warrant for Escape, a Felony of the Third Degree.
According to authorities in Cheboygan County, Harman and Mariah Beedle, age 23, were located at a residence just a few miles south of the Mackinaw Bridge. Harman and Beedle were in possession of an alleged stolen vehicle out of Indiana. The vehicle the duo was operating broke down on I-75, which lead to law enforcement being contacted.
“The report I obtained early this morning from Cheboygan County authorities indicates Harman and Beedle initially provided false names to law enforcement,” said Landers. “After the stolen vehicle was identified, the two eventually gave their true names and were arrested without incident. Both individuals are currently being held on local charges in Michigan. I have placed a holder on Harman and we will extradite him to Paulding once his business is taken care of in Cheboygan County.”
