February 4th, 2023 by WCBC Radio

A busy Friday for Cumberland  City Police. At approximately 8:12 AM, an officer of the Cumberland Police Department had responded to a financial institution on Evitts Creek Drive for an alarm.  While on scene, unrelated to the alarm, the officer overheard a male subject yelling nearby.  The officer then observed Paul Lepley standing near the ATM, yelling obscenities and blocking other clients from using the ATM.  Lepley was told to stop creating a disturbance.  He refused to cooperate with the officer.  As a result, Lepley was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters.  Lepley was issued two criminal citations and released pending trial.

At approximately 0015 hours officers from the Cumberland Police Department were dispatched to a Bedford Street business for a female inside the business trespassing.  Officers arrived and made contact with store employees who told officers that a female later identified as Misty Ann Ours had previously been told not to return to the business.  As the officers approached Ours she reached out and grabbed the officers taser and attempted to pull it from the holster.  Ours was taken into custody without further incident.  She was transported to the Cumberland Police Department for processing.  Ours was later transported to the District Court Commissioner’s Office for a hearing.  At the conclusion of the hearing Ours was transported to the Allegany County Detention Center on a temporary commitment.
