Nesbit was arrested last night at his home by Headquarters Detectives Harry Cole and Clarence Talley on three warrants that were brought here by Raymond Coomss. a constable of Lanham, Md. Nesbit refused to ac- company the officer to Maryland, so was detained in the witness room at the fifth precinct station house during the nigt. Maryland police say that Nesbit had an accident on the Defense Highway near Ardwick on Wednesday and that he was so much under the influence of liquor that he was unable to prop- | erly handle his car. The automobile | with which he collided was driven by & | colored man and was badly damaged. Following the accident Nesbit was arrasted and then released for a_hear- ing on Thursday night before Justice of the Peace Louis Gundling. He left the automobile. but employes of an au- tomobile association to which Nesbit belonged went after the car on Thurs- day and the police turned it over to them. When Nesbit failed to turn up the warrants were issued. Nesbit will be taken to court today and a fugitive warrant sought. Steps will then be taken to obtain extradi- tion papers.
