A Vestaburg man who was wanted on multiple felony charges in Bentleyville was arrested Monday evening.  Authorities arrived at a home at 411 First Street in Vestaburg just after six-thirty to serve an arrest warrant. State Police say 51-year-old Geoffrey Douglas, who also goes by “Jazz”, was hiding in an attic at the time. Police said Douglas managed to crawl through to the opposite duplex, where he fell through the ceiling into an elderly neighbor’s home. He was then taken into custody. Pennsylvania State Police say charges of criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and flight to avoid apprehension are pending.  (Photo:  WPXI)
