Hubbard man finally nabbed by police

YOUNGSTOWN — Police caught a man on the run since they tried to serve him a warrant Thursday morning.

Ted Frisch, 42, who was wanted for felony robbery, fled when Hubbard Township Police tried to serve the warrant at his residence on Stonybrook Drive in Hubbard.

He was caught at 1:30 p.m. in Cornersburg, said Hubbard Township Detective Sgt. Mike Begeot.

Frisch had jumped a fence from the trailer park where he lives into a weigh station on Interstate 80. He crossed north and southbound lanes, followed by a Hubbard officer and an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper who saw him, but escaped into woods near Gale Avenue.

Police, searched there, then traced his cell phone to another location in Liberty township. They searched there, then said they relied on tips.

Dan Deville, head of the U.S. Marshal’s Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, said they found Frisch walking through the parking lot of the Sparkle Market at Meridian and Canfield roads. He said they are not sure what he was doing in the area, but Hubbard Township is following up on whether someone was harboring him.

Deville said Frisch gave himself up peacefully and is now in Trumbull County Jail. Arraignment will be set next week.
