HOWSE ARRESTED ON WARRANT

Elyria – Chris Howse was arrested Saturday afternoon on 8th Street near West Ave after a warrant was issued yesterday.

Howse, brother of Alverno Howse who was just indicted on charges of Tampering with Evidence at the murder scene of 17-year-old Chuckie Howard, was due in court Friday for sentencing after being found guilty of two traffic violations and failed to appear.

Howse had pleaded No Contest to charges of Driving Under Suspension (M1) and Operation of Vehicle at Stop Sign (MM) on July 27th and was scheduled for sentencing before Judge John Musson Friday. After Howse failed to appear a warrant was issued for his arrest.

An alert Elyria Police Officer spotted Howse driving a red Ford Focus on West Ave and was able to pull him over and take him into custody without incident.

At the time Howse was arrested he was wearing a black memorial t-shirt that had a photo of Chuckie Howard and with the words: RIP Charles Howard 1992-2009.
