UTICA (AP) - A 20-year-old man wanted for assaulting a police officer in Ohio is in custody after he was captured during a traffic stop on the New York State Thruway.

State troopers caught Christopher Alexander of Johnstown, Ohio,
Monday morning while he was passing through Utica. A routine check
revealed that Alexander was wanted in Licking County, Ohio, for felony assault.

After Alexander was arrested, troopers found he had brass knuckles, a small amount of marijuana and a bottle of methadone in his possession.

Troopers are charging him with being a fugitive from justice, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana.
