Loper, a 46-year-old local resident, was arrested on December 19 following a collaborative investigation by the Canisteo Village Police Department, the New York State Police, and the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office. Loper’s arrest came after several days of evading law enforcement, which involved multiple vehicle chases and attempts to flee on foot.
