Wanted Man Arrested In Spring City After Domestic Dispute: Cops

SPRING CITY, PA -- A wanted man was arrested in Spring City Sunday after a domestic dispute, local police said.

Christopher Scott Clayton, 28, of Reading, was involved in the dispute at a home on the 20 block of North Main Street, police said.

When authorities arrived on the scene Clayton had already fled. When police found out his name, they discovered he was wanted for felony criminal trespass.

They traced him to a nearby Turkey Hill located at Bridge and Main streets.

Police said he was trying to hide from officers by pretending to use an ATM.

When he was arrested, police said that they found enough drugs in his possession to lead them to believe he was selling. Clayton had previously been arrested in 2010 by state police in Reading on drug charges.

Clayton now faces additional drug charges. He was arraigned and taken to Chester County Prison.
