Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - This week the Syracuse Police Warrants Squad is trying to track down a man who has been skipping his court appearances. Police say they caught Jamall McLaurin with crack cocaine in February. After neglecting to make his scheduled court appearances, McLaurin now has four bench warrants.
"One of the warrants is for harassment, in which he was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a motor vehicle accident. He ended up with a physical altercation with the other driver in the vehicle, so yes, we would consider him to be a danger," said Syracuse Police Sgt. John Savage.
McLaurin is 6-foot-2, 200 pounds and known to frequent Syracuse's South Side. The 21- year old man has been arrested 21 times.
