Barry Baker
WEST CHESTER — The former East Fallowfield man charged with sucker punching a man with cerebral palsy in front of a borough 7-11 has been taken into custody, Chester County Sheriff Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh announced Monday morning.
According to authorities, the Chester County Sheriff’s Fugitive Apprehension Unit and the Chester County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit, working with the U.S. Marshals found Barry Baker, 29, now of Georgetown, DE, in Uwchlan Monday morning, just after 8 a.m.
Baker had been sought by authorities since May 25, after allegedly missing two court-mandated appearances.
Baker faces simple assault charges from the May 10 incident at the 7-11, as well as a failure to appear on a domestic relations case and an adult probation warrant.
“We’re pleased that Mr. Baker is in custody,” Welsh said. “It was a great effort by multiple agencies.”
Baker has been transferred to Chester County Prison in Pocopson to await a preliminary hearing.
