EAST LAMPETER TOWNSHIP, LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa.– Police arrested a woman after she attempted to lead police astray in their search for a wanted man.
Amanda Haupt, 26, of Lancaster, was arrested for hindering apprehension before her release.
On April 7, police were dispatched to the parking lot of the Host Resort for a report of a wanted person that was sitting in a vehicle.
Upon arrival, police located a male matching the description of the wanted man. While officers were speaking with the male, Haupt approached.
