ELK COUNTY

State police at Ridgway are filing criminal mischief and theft charges against a 34 year old Erie man. Troopers did not release the suspect’s name but say when they responded to a call around 6:00 am at Elk County Foods on the Wilcox Road in Ridgway Township Tuesday, they found the suspect had destroyed multiple pumpkins at the front entrance of the store and damaged the front door. He then allegedly stole flowers from a display stand and went to his vehicle in the car wash. There he reportedly damaged miscellaneous items including a temperature gauge and sign before breaking the driver’s side window on his car. Damage is estimated to exceed $85 and the stolen flowers are valued at $24.

A hit and run in Fox Township Monday remains under investigation by state police at Ridgway. Sometime between 9:00 and 9:30 pm, an unknown vehicle went off of Main Street and struck a 25mph school zone sign located between the post office and Fox Township fire department. Anyone with information is asked to call the Ridgway barracks at 814.776.6136.
