Pottsville, PA – Authorities in Schuylkill County are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect allegedly involved in a fleeing and eluding incident earlier this month that ended with a foot pursuit into a residential neighborhood.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the incident happened Friday, March 6, 2026, at approximately 3:56 p.m. when a trooper attempted a traffic stop on a white Honda Accord at the intersection of Route 61 and West Norwegian Street in Schuylkill Haven. Police said the driver allegedly failed to provide a driver’s license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration when requested.
Troopers reported the individual was then asked to exit the vehicle but instead allegedly put the car in drive and fled the scene, leading officers on a brief vehicle pursuit. Authorities say the driver eventually stopped, exited the vehicle, and allegedly fled on foot, possibly entering a residence along the 800 block of West Norwegian Street in Pottsville.
Investigators noted the vehicle displayed Pennsylvania registration LCJ0734, though officials said the registration did not return valid information in the system.
State police have released a photo of the suspect and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Tips can be submitted by contacting the Schuylkill Haven Barracks at (570) 754-4600 or by calling PSP Tips toll-free at 1-800-472-8477. Information can also be submitted online.
Authorities say callers may remain anonymous, and cash rewards may be offered for information that leads to an arrest or helps resolve the case.
Police emphasize the investigation remains active as they continue efforts to identify the individual allegedly involved.
