LIBERTY -- A warrant was issued through Girard Municipal Court for Shane Link, 31, of Youngstown, on a charge of obstructing official business Wednesday morning.
According to a police report, officers were notified by an anonymous caller Monday that Link, with whom officers are familiar, was staying in a Motel 6 hotel room, with officers also noting that he had felony warrants and a history of resisting arrest.
Two officers responded to the area, and they had a brief visual on Link before losing him on a second-floor walkway.
The report states Link looked out a window, and officers ordered him to exit the room and come downstairs, which he said he would do.
However, he was later seen running through a grass field north of the motel, and a later conversation with hotel staff revealed Link jumped from the second-story walkway to flee.
The report states officers set a perimeter until additional support arrived on scene, and Youngstown police used a drone to track Link, but he couldn't be found.
