An Auburn man who fled city police trying to take him into custody on a bench warrant will remain in jail.
Jason McPhearson, 28, was in Cayuga County Court Thursday virtually in front of Judge Thomas Leone for a return on warrant proceeding.
McPhearson is facing multiple charges, including second-degree strangulation, a class D felony; aggravated family offense, a class E felony; second-degree unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor; and second-degree harassment, a violation.
McPhearson was previously in front of Leone upon being indicted, and Leone had told McPhearson to report to the Cayuga County Jail by a certain time. Cayuga County Senior Assistant District Attorney Heather DeStefano said in court Thursday that McPhearson previously said he had a bed waiting for him at a rehabilitation center but that was later determined to be false.
