On Feb. 14, Patrolmen #114 and #112 of the Salem Police Department initiated an investigation into the whereabouts of a wanted fugitive who had been evading authorities for a Phelps County warrant, for approximately four years.
Officers responded to the 100 block of South Jackson Street after receiving information that the subject was inside a residence. Officers issued verbal commands for the individual to exit the residence; however, the subject initially refused to comply.

The subject, identified as Thomas Weaver, was subsequently taken into custody without incident.
Weaver was transported to the Dent County Jail, where he is being held on the charge of failure to appear — driving while revoked.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
