Police: Illinois Man Tries to Flee After Marijuana Arrest

Southold Town Police report that Christopher Oliver attempted to run from police during processing at headquarters.

The following information was supplied by the Southold Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate convictions.

Christopher L. Oliver, 26, of Mohamet, Ill., was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana and attempted escape on Dec. 2 at 9:43 p.m., after police found him to be in possession of marijuana at Midwood and Eastwood Roads in Cutchogue, arrested him and transported him to police headquarters in Peconic for processing, at which point Oliver attempted to run from the scene, police said.

Editor's Note: Southold Town Police later reported that after being processed as Christopher Oliver, Flanigan's fingerprint scan indicated Christopher Oliver was in fact Adam Flanigan, a fugitive from justice from the State of Wisconsin, police said. Flanigan was processed under his true identity and held for arraignment -  Police: Fugitive From Wisconsin Fakes Identity During Earlier Drug Bust
