Erie police captured two men after a block chase Saturday night led by Patrolman Paul Schaaf. Rodney Phelps, 24, of 129 West Nineteenth Street, and Carl Mello, 22, with no address, were arrested at Sixth and French streets after a speeding escape from a car stopped for stolen license plates. Phelps surrendered. Mello resisted and was subdued with a push of the officer’s hand. Police found fuses like those used in exploding nitroglycerin safes, a toy pistol, and a possibly stolen battery in the car. Mello is a brother of Jerry Mello, recently sentenced on breaking, entering and larceny related to a dining car holdup at Eleventh and Peach streets.
