VERONA, Pa. — The Verona Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding a fugitive.
Verona police say they’re searching for Joseph Fisher of Pittsburgh following an incident at the GetGo parking lot Sunday.
Fisher reportedly fled a traffic stop and gave officers a relative’s identity to keep from being arrested.
Investigators discovered Fisher’s true identity after he was released, police say. He’s reportedly been a fugitive since Jan. 14, when he escaped the Renewal corrections center following a robbery conviction.
Fisher is now charged with flight to avoid apprehension, escape and false ID to law enforcement, police say.
Anyone who knows Fisher’s location is urged to call 911.
