The Jamestown Police Department charged two city residents this past week with being fugitives from justice. On Wednesday, officers were patrolling the area of Stowe Street and Buffalo Street shortly after 7:30 AM, when they saw 27-year-old Kaylee Keech, who had a known warrant from the Warren County Sheriff's Office in Pennsylvania for retail theft. They tried to detain Keech while the warrant could be confirmed, but she allegedly refused verbal commands and was taken into custody after a brief struggle. Keech was taken to the Jamestown City Jail and charged with 2nd-degree obstruction, in addition to being a fugitive from justice. She was later remanded to the Chautauqua County Jail pending extradition proceedings. Then on Thursday, officers determined that 27-year-old Tarice Echevarria, who was already being held in the Jamestown City Jail for failing to appear in court, was also wanted by the Warren County Sheriff's Office for theft by unlawful taking. Echevarria was held pending arraignment and extradition proceedings.
