Cumberland, MD – The Cumberland Police Department arrested two individuals on Thursday, November 7, on separate charges, including a fugitive from justice and a DUI incident.

Irron Lateef Daye, 46, of Cumberland, was arrested on charges of being a fugitive from justice, following the discovery of an open bench warrant from Monongalia County, WV. The warrant accused Daye of failing to appear in court for a CDS distribution charge. He was presented before a District Court Commissioner for an initial appearance and was subsequently remanded to the Allegany County Detention Center. He is held without bond, awaiting extradition to West Virginia.

Additionally, the police responded to a report of a suspicious individual in a vehicle at the intersection of Second St and Seymour St. The officers found Joseph Robert Benson III, 40, also of Cumberland, passed out in a running Honda passenger vehicle. Upon investigation, suspected CDS was observed inside the vehicle, leading to further inquiries. Benson was ordered out of the vehicle, resisted arrest, and attempted to escape but was taken into custody after a brief struggle.
