Police Report 11/25 - 12/01

At least one motorist seemed incapable of staying on the road, Friday night or early Saturday morning, damaging a mailbox, a fence and several lawns. Somebody stole some welding gear from the Career and Technical Center, and a patient was transported after an apparent suicide attempt.

Those were among matters Port Allegany Police dealt with in the week that began Monday, November 25 and ended Sunday, December 1.

Last Tuesday at 10:26 a.m. Chief Dave Distrola went to Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center in response to a report of theft by a student. Items taken were welding gloves and a torch tip. Charges are being “withheld.”

At 1:15 p.m. Distrola unlocked a vehicle at Sheetz.

Last Wednesday at 8 a.m. Distrola responded to an alarm at the PC Federal Credit Union. It turned out that there had been a false activation.

At 11:30 a.m. Distrola went to 46 South Main Street where an overdose had been reported. The subject was said to have ingested several prescription medications in a suicide attempt. That person was transported to Charles Cole Memorial Hospital, Coudersport, by ambulance.

At 9:30 p.m. Officer Jason Crants unlocked a motor vehicle at the former Arby’s parking lot.
