This was no routine police matter.

It was not a “knock and talk” visit.

That five troopers showed up at Cynthia S. Noland’s Butler apartment Sunday was not lost on her.

By the time they completed their call, police had arrested Noland, 55, and captured two suspected felons she allegedly tried to hide at her home in the 200 block of East Brady Street.

Police said they went to Noland’s apartment about noon on the hunt for Chad M. Undercuffler, who was wanted on a felony arrest warrant for theft and forgery in Center Township.

Authorities had good reason to believe he was there. Undercuffler’s own grandmother told police so, according to court document.

When Noland answered the door, she didn’t expect to see police, let alone five troopers. They told her they were there looking for Undercuffler, 23, of Parker.

“Geezus, what’s he wanted for, murder?” she told the uniformed contingent.

Following her “smart remark,” as police described it in an affidavit filed with their criminal complaint, Noland repeatedly insisted Undercuffler was not there.

Her denials continued even after police warned her that she risked being arrested for harboring a fugitive.

She eventually allowed two Butler police officers into her apartment to “prove” no one was home, documents said. Instead, the officers immediately spotted two men — Austin J. Rusch and Zachary V. Everetts.

Everetts soon revealed Undercuffler’s whereabouts — in a closet in back of the home. That’s where troopers found him, hiding.

It also turned out, police learned, that Rusch, 21, of Petrolia was wanted on a felony arrest warrant for theft and forgery in Fairview Township.

Police took the two wanted men into custody. The pair was later placed in the Butler County Prison.

Undercuffler remains jailed. Rusch posted bail Monday and was released.

Noland was arrested and arraigned on multiple felony counts of hindering apprehension or prosecution. She was later released on her own recognizance.

Everetts was not charged.
