The driver of the car told police that Overton Hughes chased him to a Deerfield Street house and that he then ran into the Erie County Medical Center for safety, according to the police report.
Police arrested Overton Hughes at 160 Deerfield, reporting that he allegedly possessed a stolen federal badge from the FBI. It turned out that the handguns were fake, police reported.
