Lebanon man flees from scene on bicycle; gets marijuana and weapon charges

57-year-old Sidney Weir was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a weapon while under the influence, unlawful possession of a weapon, public intoxication, and evading arrest after police responded to a shots fired call, found him leaving the scene, and refused police commands to stop.

On May 16th, LPD Sgt. Jesse Scott, alongside Officers Hollins and Clark, responded to a shots fired call on Cedar Street in Lebanon. On arrival, they found Sidney Weir leaving the scene on a bicycle. Scott urged Weir to stop, but was consistently met with Weir’s refusals. After Officer Clark reached Weir, a frisk was conducted.

Upon further investigation of Weir, a “strong odor” of alcohol was present and two clear plastic bags were confiscated, carrying a green leafy substance.

Sidney Weir was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a weapon while under the influence, unlawful possession of a weapon, public intoxication, and evading arrest. He was later freed on pre-trial release.
