A search for a hit-and-run driver this morning led police to a village of Searights home where they found much more.

When police searched the home where the driver was believed to have holed up, police instead found Keith Aaron Thomas of Uniontown hiding in the residence. Police said he was not involved in the accident and it was not immediately clear why he was in the home.

Thomas, who is wanted on charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping, eluded dozens of police officers during a raid in Uniontown earlier this week but was taken into custody without incident today.

He is accused of assaulting and kidnapping his ex-girlfriend, Monique Sheri King, 23, of Menallen Township, from her home in late January and then leading police on a chase through Uniontown after King was able to escape his vehicle.

Thomas also is accused of ramming a state police cruiser with his vehicle injuring state police trooper George Mrosko.
