(WNY News Now) – A 27-year-old Jamestown man is facing an additional charge after police discovered he was wanted in Pennsylvania for an alleged theft.

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — A Jamestown man being held in the city jail on a separate court-related matter was charged as a fugitive from justice after officers discovered an active warrant for his arrest in Pennsylvania.

According to the Jamestown Police Department, officers determined on November 5, 2026, at approximately 7:35 a.m. that Tarice A. Echevarria, 27, of Jamestown, was wanted by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office in Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania warrant reportedly stems from a charge of Theft by Unlawful Taking.

Echevarria was already being held in the Jamestown City Jail for failing to appear in court when officers identified the outstanding warrant.

He was subsequently charged with Fugitive from Justice and held pending arraignment in Jamestown City Court.

Police said Echevarria will also face extradition proceedings related to the Pennsylvania warrant. As are all persons accused of a crime, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
