A manhunt is under way but we didn't catch why. A white male, wearing white, is being sought by law enforcement and he reportedly is "drenched from falling in a ditch."
He was spotted at the Thruway entrance at the end of Oak Street and was last reported in an open field on the south side of the Thruway. A State Police helicopter is going to be airborne shortly to aid in the hunt.
UPDATE 1:01 p.m.: The subject is in custody "on the Thruway."
UPDATE 1:22 p.m.: This incident started when an employee of the Days Inn called police to report that a guest failed to pay for his room. When police arrived, he ran to his vehicle and reached in for something. They thought it might be a weapon. He ran off and they pursued him. The Local Drug Enforcement Task Force is now searching the hotel property. The subject remains in custody.
