ROCHESTER - The Gonic man who eluded police last month by jumping a fence near Lafayette Street and escaping down River Street was finally arrested on the charge of resisting arrest stemming from that incident on Thursday.
Marcus Green, 49, of 479 Gonic Road, Apt. #117, had been wanted on a bench warrant from Strafford County Superior Court when he fled from police on Feb. 14.
Green was later taken into custody around 5:50 p.m. on Feb. 16, but that was on the bench warrant, not the resisting arrest charge.
The resisting arrest warrant was executed on Thursday a little before 1 p.m. at the Riviera Motel.
Green was first arrested on Jan. 27 after police came upon him while searching for another man who had reportedly passed out in the South Main Street Dunkin' Donuts bathroom. When they arrived on scene and found he wasn't there they searched the nearby area and found Green - who had a bench warrant for willful concealment - on Congress Street.
When Green was searched while being taken into custody officers found suspected heroin, meth, and two different kinds of prescription meds Green had no prescription for.
