A man who referred to himself as the “Pablo Escobar of Buxton” is arrested by police after hiding behind a sofa when officers arrive. Reporting from Manchester says Liam Churchman hid at the time of the police response and is taken into custody.
Both outlets describe the nickname as something Churchman gives himself rather than a verified identity or formal role. The accounts focus on the arrest circumstances—police locating him in the property and him trying to evade officers by remaining out of sight—while offering limited additional detail about the broader investigation. Neither source provides a comprehensive account of charges, the alleged drugs involved, or the evidence cited at this stage.
Overall, the two reports align on the key points: Churchman uses the comparison to Pablo Escobar as a self-described label connected to Buxton, and he is found behind a sofa during the police visit.
