Troopers allege when they investigated an active domestic violence incident on Route 249 Friday afternoon, they discovered Lacy Bailey had fired one round from a semi-automatic pistol at a 34 year old Knoxville man.  Bailey is also charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possession of instruments of crime with intent to employ it criminally and endangering the welfare of children.

Potter County

An Ohio man has been arrested for providing false ID to Coudersport state police. Troopers say when they stopped 50 year old James Robinson of Martins Ferry, Ohio on a traffic stop, he falsely provided another person’s ID. The victim told police Robinson had done that before on traffic stops because his license was suspended. Besides being charged with providing false ID to law enforcement, Robinson was charged with speeding, failing to show license on demand and driving while license was suspended or revoked.

The theft of a golf cart from Burt Street in Ulysses this past weekend is being probed by troopers at the Coudersport barracks. The vehicle was found crashed along the Hickox-Ulysses Road. It is owned by a 75 year old Ulysses man.

A criminal mischief in Allegany Township was investigated by Coudersport state police last Sunday. Vandals tampered with the exterior WIFI connection at a camp on Rose Lake Road owned by Lewis Fisher of Millsboro, DE sometime since May 26, 2022. Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 814.274.8690.

Troopers did not release the name of a 30 year old Harrison Valley man accused of defiant criminal trespass. The suspect allegedly went onto property along the Howard Road in Harrison Township at about 8:00 pm last Thursday. The property is owned by a 53 year old Harrison Township woman.

A Shinglehouse driver and her passenger escaped injury in a car/deer collision late last Monday night in Hebron Township. According to state police, Susan Plowden-Kruder was going south on Route 44 just west of the Coneville Road when the whitetail bounded onto the road in front of her 2018 Nissan Sentra. Both the driver and her passenger, Gerald Lawton also of Shinglehouse were using seat belts but she was cited for driving without a license.

Elk County

An Elk County runaway juvenile was located last Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio in a stolen vehicle. Ridgway state police are continuing to investigate.

Statewide

The Governor’s Invasive Species Council is conducting the first statewide survey to measure costs of the damage inflicted by invasive species in Pennsylvania, and the costs tied to preventing and controlling them. The 15-20 minute survey distributed earlier in November through the council’s 21 member organizations, will be open until this Friday November 18.

The goal of the survey is to gather comprehensive data on nonnative species, their impact on local and state government, educational institutions, private businesses, property owners, nonprofits, and others working to control invasive species and the pathogens they spread and to counter damage they cause. Data collected from the survey will help inform a strategic, regional partnership approach to managing invasive species.

The Governor’s Invasive Species Council works to identify invasive plant, insect, and animal species that threaten or may threaten Pennsylvania’s natural and agricultural resources and the industries they support. Learn more about the council, the management plans it implements and strategic recommendations, as well as other efforts to protect and grow Pennsylvania’s $132.5 billion agriculture and food industry at agriculture.pa.gov.
