A man who spent years eluding police across three Pennsylvania counties is now behind bars after his arrest in Hanover earlier this month.
Kevin Sutherland, who had been on the York County Sheriff's Office Most Wanted list since 2022, was taken into custody on Wednesday (March 12) on the 1st block of East Chestnut Street in Hanover Borough. According to the York County Sheriff's Office, Sutherland had eight active arrest warrants across Adams, Perry, and York counties at the time of his arrest.
The warrants included charges of statutory sexual assault, terroristic threats, criminal trespassing, and false identification, among others.
Deputies from the Sheriff's Office Warrant Apprehension Unit went to the East Chestnut Street address to serve a warrant. While speaking with a family member at the apartment, deputies witnessed Sutherland run to the rear of the apartment and jump from a second-story window onto a concrete sidewalk below.
Sutherland then fled on foot, leading deputies on a short chase before they took him into custody. Following his arrest, he was taken to Hanover Hospital for evaluation before being transported to the Sheriff's Office Processing Center.
As reported by Local 21 News, Sutherland now faces additional charges of flight to avoid apprehension and evading arrest on foot, on top of the eight existing warrants. The case remains active as the charges across all three counties move forward.
