RENOVO, PA – A “BOLO” (be on the lookout) for a homeless man observed in the Renovo area has been called off. The Friday online post followed an incident at Scoot’s Service Center in Renovo Thursday night. Clinton County District Attorney Dave Strouse Friday afternoon confirmed word that Lance C. Baker is in custody.

A witness said Baker was seen on the sidewalk along Erie Avenue with police on Friday afternoon. There has been no word since then as to his disposition.

The police posting earlier Friday read:

A Scoot’s official posted on social media that “an incident” occurred in the store Thursday around 10 p.m. The account said, “The homeless guy that everyone has been talking about who was wearing a dark hoodie, tan pants and carrying a dark backpack physically attacked the employee on duty. The employee is ok. The state police are involved and this is to let the community know to be aware that he is dangerous.”
