The York County Sheriff’s Department arrested a Lebanon man on Wednesday after he was allegedly found to be subject to multiple outstanding arrest warrants during a traffic stop and resisted arrest.

At approximately 1:40 p.m., Deputy Levi Johnson allegedly witnessed a traffic violation on Route 202 in Lebanon.
He pulled the vehicle over and recognized the passenger as Jamison Snyder, 54, of Lebanon.
Johnson was aware that Snyder was subject to multiple outstanding arrest warrants on charges of operating after revoked habitual offender status, refusing to submit to arrest, criminal mischief, and violation of conditions of release.
While Johnson conducted the stop, Snyder allegedly fled the vehicle on foot.
Johnson pursued him into a snowbank, where he attempted to place him under arrest. Snyder reportedly continued to resist arrest, and Johnson was forced to deploy his taser in order to subdue him and take him into custody.
He was transported to the York County Jail, where charges of refusing to submit to arrest and another count of violating conditions of release were added to the charges stemming from his warrants.
He was issued a $1,000 warrant for the charges but was not granted bail for the new charges.
His first court appearance is set for March 6.
Snyder was previously arrested in 2019 after he allegedly jumped out of a window while holding a bag of drugs in an attempt to flee from the police while subject to outstanding arrest warrants.
Police were forced to deploy a Taser to subdue him in that case as well.
Oh look, one of the usual suspects
It is not all of them, they only make up about 15% of people in the U S; however, they sure do provide lots of public interest stories in the State of Maine.
I agree, blacks as a group seem to produce more than their share of law breaking and resistance to arrest. Part of the problem appears to stem from a culture that refuses to assimilate or integrate with the larger one. Once they realize that assimilation does not mean giving up their own identity, they are likely to be more comfortable with the larger culture and the advantages it has to offer.
