NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- Police are searching for a 25-year-old Leon Drive man wanted on charges of aggravated assault, kidnapping, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment.

The Leon Drive man later called police and said he was going to jump off the Shenango Dam in Mercer County. Police searched the area but could not find him. The man later called his ex-girlfriend and told her he was heading to Canada to join the French Foreign Legion, police said.
