Police say a man found in the trunk of a vehicle at Manheim Auto Auction yard in Lancaster County is wanted out of New York.

Leon Parks, 25, from the Bronx, New York, has been identified by police as the man in the trunk. Police said he is wanted as a parole violator and on weapons charges from New York.

Police said they found Parks in a 2016 Dodge Challenger, a vehicle that was among a cargo of vehicles loaded onto a transporter truck.

The loaded transport truck came from the New York City area, police said, and arrived at Manheim Auto Auction in the late morning hours of Thursday.

All vehicles at the auction are inspected upon delivery as a normal part of business, police said. The scope of the inspection does include all vehicle compartments.

When inspectors opened the trunk of the vehicle, the man later identified as Parks was inside, police said.

Parks was semi responsive and was given emergency medical attention, police said. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, escorted by police.

Once he was discharged form the hospital, Parks was transported to the Northern Lancaster Regional Police Department for processing, police said. He was identified at the department.

Parks has been charged as a fugitive from justice, and was transported to Lancaster County Prison to await extradition.

Police said they are still investigating the circumstances that led to Parks being found, including the method and manner in which he got into the trunk. Parks has not been cooperative, police said.

Police said the date and times Parks left New York, where he left from and vendors involved in transporting the vehicle are currently being withheld in order to preserve the investigation.
