Through a local records search, officers discovered that Kingston had an active felony warrant out for his arrest for state charges of robbery, and he was restricted from possessing a weapon. When officers arrived on scene, they observed Kingston fleeing on foot over the property's fence. Police searched the surrounding area by drone and K9 officers, but Kingston was not located. Man who allegedly held Millcreek family hostage for months charged with 13 felonies About 20 minutes later, police received a call from an adult man who stated he was the victim of a carjacking. According to the complaint, the man was completing a landscaping job in the area, and when he returned to his work truck, he allegedly found Kingston laying in the back. The victim stated that Kingston pulled a knife on him, told him 'drive' and 'go,' and to get Kingston out of the area.
