Port Allegany Police helped local residents in a variety of ways along with patrol and law enforcement duties in the week that began November 3.

Last Monday at 1:42 p.m. Chief Dave Distrola did his best to assist a motorist with a vehicle lockout at the elementary school. Finally they had to call Jason Stake of J&J Citgo, and he solved the problem.

Last Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Officer Adam Dickerson received a report concerning a juvenile who had not come home after school. He searched but did not find the missing student.

Last Wednesday at 3:30 a.m. Dickerson was asked to conduct a welfare check on a female at a North Main Street residence. He found the person to be lethargic. Ambulance personnel evaluated the subject and concluded that she did not need to be taken to a hospital.

At 10:07 a.m. Distrola was dispatched to 220 North Main Street where there was an argument over a parking spot. The subjects exchanged words and went on their way. A resident was concerned about use of what he considered his private parking spot. No parking restrictions are posted at that location. The resident was advised to call the McKean County Housing Authority and discuss the matter with them.

At 10:53 a.m. Distrola was dispatched to Edison Bates Drive for a reported sighting of the missing juvenile from Tuesday. Apparently the juvenile had been camping above the cemetery. After a two-hour search the juvenile was located and taken home. The Smethport Police Department assisted in the search.

Thursday at 7:46 p.m. Officer Tony Tanner was dispatched to Smith Avenue for a juvenile-parent problem. Apparently a parent had become irate over the behavior of a 16-year-old female and had kicked her out of the house. The juvenile was transported to a relative’s house.

Friday at 1:30 p.m. Officer Kyle Day was dispatched to the  intersection of Lower Grimes and Route 6, for a motor vehicle crash. He collected operators’ information and stood by until the arrival of Pennsylvania State Police.

At 8:42 p.m. Officer Tanner was called to the Mid-Town Motel parking lot to check on a suspicious person. It turned out the subject was waiting for someone to show up to provide a promised ride.

Saturday at 12:20 a.m. Tanner was asked to locate a male subject whose vehicle was parked near the old Sheetz building. Tanner was unable to locate the individual after receiving a report that the subject was involved in some type of domestic disagreement.

At 5 p.m. Tanner received a complaint of criminal mischief in which a car parked at a Katherine Street residence had been damaged. The car owner had found the left rear window broken at 4 p.m. Nothing was said to be missing from the car.

At 7:37 p.m. Tanner received a complaint concerning a suspicious vehicle stopped partially in the roadway on Arnold Avenue, and said to be yelling. Tanner found that the subject was having a cell phone conversation and the windows were down. The subject agreed to leave the area.

Sunday at 10:25 a.m. Officer Jason Crants was asked to conduct a welfare check at a North Main Street apartment. The subject was not found at home. The call was referred to PSP because there was information suggesting the subject was suicidal.

At 4 p.m. Dickerson located the subject of the earlier welfare check attempt. A girlfriend transported the subject to Bradford Regional Medical Center for evaluation.

At 11 p.m. Dickerson received a call from dispatch concerning an erratic driver. Dickerson contacted the complainant, who refused to give a current location of the erratic driver. Dickerson indicated that the incident took place out of the borough and advised the caller to notify PSP.
