Law enforcement seeks Laroy Page

The Allen County Sheriff's office has announced:

On Sunday, October 30, 2022 around 12:30 a.m. Laroy “Knowledge” Page was the driver and only occupant in a vehicle that was involved in a pursuit with the Lima Police Department. The pursuit ended when the vehicle crashed near the intersection of W. Elm St and Fraunfelter Rd. After the crash, Page fled the vehicle and forced entry into a residence located on Fraunfelter Rd. 

While inside the residence Page continuously assaulted the homeowners for approximately two hours. Page then forced the residents to drive him in their vehicle to the intersection of Yoakam Rd and W. Breese Rd. Once Page exited the vehicle, the owners returned to their residence. It is believed that Page returned to his residence at that point (3439 Redbud LN) and then eventually fled the area.
