LISBON Homer C. Carnes Jr., 41, state route 154, Lisbon, waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was bound over to the grand jury on charges of fleeing and eluding a police officer, a third-degree felony, and obstructing official business, a fifth-degree felony. On Dec. 6, Carnes allegedly was in the driver’s seat of a blue Jeep in the driveway, when deputies attempted to serve a warrant on him at the home. When he was told to exit the vehicle, he allegedly put the vehicle into reverse, accelerated backwards and took off on state Route 154 nearly striking an eastbound vehicle near the driveway and another vehicle on Middle Beaver Road before he reportedly stopped on Lusk Lock Road and fled on foot.

Highway Patrol Timothy C. Nagy, 56, of Beloit, was cited for failure to control after he went off the left side of the road, striking two mail boxes, flower pot and gas meter on the property on Viola Blanchard while driving on Georgetown Road in Knox Township at 9:47 p.m. Dec. 17. An abandoned motor vehicle was found overturned off state Route 39 in Yellow Creek Township at 2:40 a.m. Wednesday. The vehicle was registered to a Newell, W.Va., resident, so the trooper called the sheriff’s office there and learned by Jeffrey D. Powers, 37, of Newell, who is believed to be the driver, had just reported it stolen. West Virginia authorities charged him, and the patrol is also expected to file charges.
