Edward Creek
CLEARFIELD - Clearfield County District Attorney, William A. Shaw, Jr., announced the capture of a wanted fugitive.


Shaw identified the Fugitive as Edward Creek, age 43, of Trolley Street, Winburne, Pennsylvania.


Creek was added to the Clearfield County Fugitive of the Week list on March 14, 2011.


On December 13, 2007, Officer Randall Young of the DuBois City Police Department, filed a Criminal Complaint charging Creek with: 1) Driving Under the Influence, M; 2) Driving While Operating Privilege Is Suspended or Revoked, S; and 3) Careless Driving, S.


An Affidavit of Probable Cause filed by Officer Young states that on July 25, 2007, while on routine patrol, officers observed a vehicle traveling with an expired registration. The vehicle was further observed driving erratically and also driving in the opposite side of the roadway. Upon making contact with the driver of the vehicle, Young detected signs of  impairment and requested that Creek perform field sobriety tests.  After administering the field sobriety tests, Creek was transported to the DuBois Regional Medical Center for blood testing.

A Preliminary Hearing was scheduled for September 19, 2008, at which time all charges were held for Court. On October 8, 2009, Creek failed to appear for Pretrial Conferences and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Shaw stated that on March 16, 2011, Creek voluntarily surrendered himself to Deputies from the Clearfield County Sheriff's Office, and he was taken into custody.

Shaw thanked the Clearfield County Sheriff's Office for their assistance with this case.
