Wanted man turns himself in after surety turns down supporting him
A 33-year-old Howard Township man who is facing more than a dozen charges is back in police custody after he failed to get support from a surety.
CK police said the man turned himself in shortly before 9:30 a.m. Thursday after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Officers said the warrant was issued because when the man was released from custody previously, it was on the condition that he would have someone who would supervise him and the person designated for that role decided not to participate in that.
The accused is charged with four counts of uttering threats, three counts of assault causing bodily harm, two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of impaired driving, and one count each of assault, arson causing property damage, and arson with disregard for human life.
He was set to be held in custody pending a bail hearing.
