FUGITIVE CAPTURED WHILE HIDING BENEATH HOUSE

A Lexington man who was wanted by police was caught yesterday after he was held at gunpoint by a resident of a house he was hiding under. Eric Martin, 21, was apprehended a little before 2 p.m. at 3235 King Arthur Drive. He had hidden in a crawlspace under the house, said Lexington Police Lt. J.J. Lombardi. In recent days, Martin had fled police who had a warrant for his arrest related to an assault, Lombardi said. Several police, U.S. marshals and a police helicopter were in the neighborhood looking for Martin. He ran through several yards before trying to hide. "The resident that lives there held him at gunpoint until police caught up with them," Lombardi said. Martin faces several charges including assault, burglary and fleeing and evading police.
