A man on the run since last August when he failed to appear for a hearing before a trial on a felony drug charge is back in custody after being arrested during a traffic stop by Cambridge police Friday night.
Shawn Potter, 34, Byesville, was arrested on the felony capias issued by the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court on Sept. 1, 2020, after he failed to appear for the pretrial hearing the previous day.
Potter was facing a Sept. 22 trial date on one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, returned by a grand jury in June for an alleged offense in December 2019.
