The Allegany County man who fled as Cuba police tried to arrest him last week is in custody this morning in Tennessee after police there shot him. 24-year old Jeremy Ostrander of Cuba suffered non-life threatening bullet wounds. Police said Ostrander fled from Cuba down south where he was spotted. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations said the man was a passenger in a car operated by a former Allegany County resident. Police said she allegedly sped her car toward police and they opened fire. Both are in the Jefferson County Detention Center. They face serious charges in both states, to include multiple felony counts of aggravated assault of a police officer.

Officer involved shooting under investigation in Jefferson County. Allegany County fugitive shot
DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Two people are now in jail in Jefferson County, TN after an officer-involved shooting early Friday morning.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says a Dandridge Police officer spotted Jeremy Ostrander, a man wanted out of Allegany County, NY on felony evading and felony reckless endangerment charges, in a red Chevy around 4:45 a.m. His girlfriend, Tesa Harris, was driving.
The Dandridge officer began chasing the vehicle, and was joined by a Jefferson County deputy. They pursued the car to exit 417 on I-40, where the vehicle pulled into a Ruby Tuesday restaurant. When the officers approached the vehicle, Harris sped away.
Sheriff G.W. "Bud" McCoig says the two officers were almost hit by the car, and fired shots at the vehicle.
Harris drove a half mile before pulling over at an abandoned house. Ostrander got out and started running on foot while officers arrested Harris.
Around 8:50 a.m., officers caught up with Ostrander and found him with a gunshot wound that officers call "superficial."
He was taken to UT Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Both Ostrander and Harris were booked into the Jefferson County Justice Center

Cuba Police looking for man after high-speed chase into Rushford
Original story from Wellsville Daily Reporter
Brian Quinn, Daily Repoter
An attempted arrest on a criminal mischief warrant Wednesday afternoon turned into a search for Cuba resident Jeremy Ostrander, who was still missing when today began.
Cuba police said the pursuit began after they received a tip that Ostrander was on Genesee Street a little after 3 o’clock Wednesday in a Chevy HHR. He had completed a drug deal, police were told.
“Obviously, we can’t verify that at this time,” Cuba Police Chief Dustin Burch said. “However, our officer did respond because we do have a warrant out of our court here in Cuba.”
