SPRINGVILLE – A Springville man is behind bars after police responded to a home in the 50 block of Airy Hills Lane to arrest 39-year-old Justin Hobson who was staying at a home and was wanted on a warrant for petition to revoke his probation in Lawrence County and an active warrant in Monroe County.
Around 11 p.m., Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department Cpl. Whitney Daugherty, Officer Bailey Duprey, and Officer Thomas Porter went to the residence. Upon approach, they observed Hobson, who fled through the house. Officers located Hobson hiding in a bedroom and took him into custody without further incident.
