Lock Haven. - Ryan Duane Dunham, 34, of Ridge Rd., Renovo, PA., was placed in the Clinton County Correctional Facility on a PFA warrant and a bench warrant yesterday afternoon.

Dunham was picked up yesterday in South Renovo following a brief chase that began when Dunham fled from Clinton County Deputy Sherriffs and ended at his house, a few blocks away. The chase began when deputies spotted Dunham driving on Pennsylvania Ave. in South Renovo Borough. Knowing they had a couple of arrest warrants for him, deputies attempted to stop him. Dunham eventually sideswiped the deputies’ vehicle toward the end of the pursuit, in an apparent attempt to get into his driveway. After the crash, Dunham fled on foot into his residence and would not come out.

Approximately an hour after the stand off  began, it ended with Dunham surrendering himself, without further incident. 

Further charges against Dunham for Aggravated Assault are forthcoming.

The Clinton County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by: Lamar PSP, the Lock Haven City Police, Lamar Township Police, Pine Creek Township Police and the Department of Forestry.

At a bench warrant  hearing this morning, Judge Michael Salisbury held Dunham on $500,000 bail.

Dunham remains lodged in the Clinton County Correctional Facility.
