Tyler Michael Steffy, 32 of Lititz, was found asleep in his vehicle on Glen Moore Circle at Lititz Pike with a hypodermic needle lying on the floor when police stopped to wake him around 7 p.m. on April 28, according to police.
Steffy awoke suddenly and “began to shove, push, and strike one of the officers,” say police.
That’s when he took off on foot, leading police on a brief chase until they tased him.

He has been charged with the following:
- (1) Count Felony Aggravated Assault
- (1) count Resisting Arrest
