Side door damaged at Towanda Public Library

The Towanda Borough police said they are investigating a recent case of criminal mischief, in which someone damaged a side door to the Towanda Public Library at 104 Main St.

"Someone tried to break through the window of a side door" of the library at some point between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday, said Jesse A. Johnson, director of the library. The door is located off Maple Street, he said.

Johnson said he didn't know if the offender was trying to break into the library, because no one was in the library at the time.

In addition, there was a scuff mark on the side door, he said. "It looked like someone kicked it," which caused some damage to the door, he said.

In addition, an ashtray along the side of the building, which had been made from a bird bath, was broken, Johnson said. The offender had apparently used the ashtray to strike the window, Johnson said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Towanda Borough police at (570) 265-2522. "All reports will remain anonymous," the Towanda police wrote in a press release that they issued about the incident.

Jonathon Wayne Brown, 24, of Towanda has been charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor after a female under the age of 21 told police she had consumed vodka at his residence, police said.

Brown was also charged with corruption of a minor, because he had allowed the female to consume alcohol in his residence, police said.

The incident occurred at 12:40 a.m. on May 24, Towanda police said.

Brown, who lives on Fourth Street, has been sent a summons which orders him to appear before Towanda Magisterial District Judge Timothy Clark on July 30.

Wysox woman faces drug paraphernalia charge

Olivia May Stroud, 36, of Wysox was recently charged with possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia, according to the Bradford County Sheriff's Office.

The charge stems from a June 16 incident at the Bradford County Courthouse in Towanda, during which Stroud was sentenced to a term of county intermediate punishment by Judge Maureen Beirne, according to the sheriff's office.

After she was sentenced, Stroud was taken into custody and searched, according to Sheriff's Deputy Brian Wibirt.

During the search, a female law enforcement employee recovered a pill crusher on her person, which contained a white powder substance inside it, Wibirt said.

Stroud said the white substance was Percocet, according to Wibirt.

Also recovered during the search was glass straw, which is commonly used for snorting illegal substances, Wibirt said.
