Local Man Arrested, Escapes Police But Gets Caught

Whitehall Police arrested a man and brought him to the police station.

He went to use the bathroom and escaped through a rear door. It wasn’t long before the police found out where he was. They went to his work place and brought him back to the police station.

In the story that I saw on News 10 ABC, Whitehall Police arrested 23-year-old Sean Gordon, from Whitehall, is facing charges of Felony Assault, Driving While Intoxicated and Escape, and was sent to the Washington County Correctional Facility.

Gordon allegedly went to someone’s home and used a grilling knife, and stabbed the person that lives there. After that, Gordon left the scene allegedly drunk. Police were nearby when they stopped him, and gave him a field sobriety test. It was determined that Gordon’s blood alcohol content was almost three times the legal limit.
