While a Monroe County man was trying to capture landmarks in Oxford Township, police captured him.
John Randall, 55, of Eldred Township, and another man in the early morning hours of Sept. 13 were outside St. Rose of Lima Parish playing an interactive cellphone game called Ingress, according to police. Similar to capture the flag, the game requires players to visit historical or cultural places and claim them for their team.
A Washington Township, New Jersey, police officer -- the department provides coverage to Oxford -- was on patrol about 1:50 and became suspicious of the two men in the church's Academy Street parking lot, police said in a news release.
The officer discovered the men were playing the cellphone game but also found Randall had a $290 outstanding warrant out of Riverdale, N.J., police said.
He was arrested and released after posting bail, police said.
