On the afternoon of March 5, Hughesville Patrolman Ryan Travelpiece approached Timothy Savage in Savage’s car and told him he needed talk to him. The officer asked him to step out of the vehicle.
“He protested, advising that he needed his lawyer and that it was all an entrapment,” the officer said in an affidavit.
The officer had been informed by Old Lycoming Township police to be on the lookout for Savage, 30, because there was a warrant for his arrest for violating a protection from abuse order, according to the affidavit. The officer recognized Savage and saw him sitting in the vehicle outside his home at 127 S. Main St. in the borough.
