MOUNT CARMEL -- Mount Carmel police said a man accused of smashing his way out of a police cruiser in Northumberland County is back in custody.

Michael Fickinger of Ashland was taken into custody for a second time Sunday morning.

Fickinger was originally arrested Saturday after authorities say he stole guns from a home in Mount Carmel Saturday morning.

Officers said while he was in custody, the man kicked out the window of the police cruiser and took off in handcuffs.

The Mount Carmel police chief told Newswatch 16 Fickinger was still wearing the handcuffs when he was taken into custody again on Sunday morning.

Fickinger faces a slew of charges including burglary, theft, escape and vandalism.
