The truck went by the field and did not raise suspicion. But a minute later, the same truck was coming back to my location, heading Northeast on Slate Mine Rd. As soon as the truck came in sight of the complaint field, I observed a red light being shined outside the driver’s side window.

The driver of the vehicle fled from me and crashed into a tree. I observed a white male who was the only occupant of the vehicle flee on foot from the crash. I attempted to apprehend the individual and was unsuccessful due to the wooded terrain. I went back to the vehicle and waited for responding units to arrive. While waiting on the other units, I looked inside the vehicle for identification. While looking in the vehicle, I located inside the vehicle a .30 caliber Umarex Air Gun with serial #0524220466056346.
