Alleged cigarette thief proves to be an escape artist

Alleged cigarette

A 58-year-old Nimishillen Township man who allegedly stole several cartons of cigarettes Friday from Speedway managed to free himself from his handcuffs at the city jail following his arrest, according to jail records.

Paul Hubbard, of 4314 Gephart Ave., is facing felony charges of tampering with evidence and escape and misdemeanor counts of falsification and petty theft. Hubbard is to be arraigned Tuesday morning in Municipal Court.

Jail records show Massillon police officers were dispatched to Speedway, 906 Lincoln Way E, shortly around 4 p.m. Friday after Hubbard fled the store with five cartons of cigarettes valued at $285. Officers reportedly saw Hubbard run eastbound along Lincoln Way to Advanced Auto, 1232 Lincoln Way E, where he attempted to get into a waiting vehicle. Hubbard then kicked the cigarettes underneath the vehicle, police reported. When officers caught up with Hubbard, he reportedly gave them a false name.

Hubbard was arrested and taken to the city jail where he was placed in handcuffs and secured to a bench, jail records show. While the arresting officer was completing paperwork, Hubbard slipped out of the handcuffs and left the building. Officers later discovered him hiding in the jail’s car port, according to jail records.
