SCOTIA, NY – Scotia Police have issued an arrest warrant for
the man involved in a domestic incident that caused Scotia-Glenville schools to
lock-out on Tuesday.
Jason S. Martin, 28, allegedly threatened his girlfriend
with a knife and made statements he would harm himself. The woman called 911
but Martin fled before officers arrived.
While police searched for Martin, Scotia-Glenville schools
were notified about the incident. As a precaution, all schools were on lock-out
until approximately 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. At that time police had not located
Martin but believed he was not in the area. Police did initiate an extensive
search for Martin which included using a State Police helicopter.
Martin is described as a white male, 5'7" tall, about 200
pounds, and has a "husky build." He has brown hair, hazel eyes, short-cropped
hair, goatee, and tattoos on both forearms. He was last seen wearing a black
