Fugitive arrested after car incident

WARREN — A 61-year-old Ohio Avenue resident said two men came by his home asking if they could come in from the cold, but took keys and his car.

The victim described one of the suspects as a black man with a limp and the other as a smaller white man with tattoos on his face.

Police later found the car at 1000 Hollywood St. NE, where a black man, who fit the victim’s description, answered the door. He was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car but was later released.

After being given permission to search the house, officers found a second suspect, later identified as Allen Walker, hiding in a small cabinet in the rear of the basement. Walker was wanted by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s office for escape. He was transported to Trumbull County Jail. Mays Towing picked up the car.
