LANCASTER – A 19-year-old Lancaster man who was struck by a patrol vehicle while fleeing authorities was in custody Friday on suspicion of assaulting and kidnapping his girlfriend.
Deputies received a report at 10:07 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, that a man was assaulting a woman in the 1000 block of East Avenue J, said Deputy Trina Schrader of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
The suspect and the victim fled in a gray Nissan and deputies searched the area for the vehicle. The suspect was seen driving in a reckless manner before his vehicle became disabled in the area of 15th Street East and Kettering Avenue, Schrader said.
The suspect fled the vehicle on foot as deputies arrived. He ran in front of a patrol vehicle before it could stop and was struck by the vehicle, Schrader said.
The suspect was taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries before being released into sheriff’s custody for booking.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and kidnapping his girlfriend, Schrader said.
The 19-year-old victim was found safe in the suspect’s vehicle and treated at the scene for minor injuries sustained in the assault, Schrader added.

To the 19 yr old that suffered my thoughts and prayers are with you that you may heal physically, mentally and emotionally. “Let him defend the lowly among the people,Let him save the sons of the poor,And let him crush the defrauder.” -Ps. 72:4

Domestic violence is more than skin deep. It is the mind-set, and it is an epidemic in this community and in the U.S..

Agree 100 percent Alexis. That is why I was confused when Rex went from accusing Mann of being an abuser tin one election to supporting him in the next election. Does Rex condone abuse? We know he verbally abuses people all the time, but does he condone physical abuse? His fisticuff with David Abber could have been in self defense.
Alexis says
this article is about kidnapping and domestic violence (assaulting) of his girlfriend. Domestic violence is not about the color of someone’s skin or the age. It is about the mind-set.

Poor form. You’re right. Just kidding and joke flopped. My family has dozens and dozens of brown dudes and dudesses.
Don’t take me seriously, I’m a moron. But I might make you laugh once so bear with me. I amuse myself, anyway.
Brown Dude says
Last I checked, 19 was officially the age of an adult. No name being released? Must be white. Or a relative/friend of Crooked Parris.
Immigrant from Europe says
As an immigrant I was very surprised of rасism in America. I was even more surprised of where it was coming from. Most of it I was getting from people like you, Brown Dude. Yes, people of your descent were calling me all kind all names, telling me to “go back where you came from”, all kinds of things. Well done dude.

I thought 18 was legal age in USA. What country did you sneak in from? To quote a Beatle’s song, “wish we were back in the USA.

I”ll be honored to buy you a cup of whatever you drink next week. And be careful not to hurt my little feelings.
Tim Scott says
Looking forward to it…and I’ll tread lightly, never fear. Though I do plan on wearing snow boots.

LOL. I don’t know what I’d do without you.
