Vehicle hits fence post

State police at Towanda said a driver lost his/her brakes and went off the highway and into a field, striking a fence post, at 6:33 p.m. Aug. 10 on Pension Street, at its intersection with Fairview Road in West Burlington Township.

Police did not provide the name of the driver, only saying that the driver was operating a GMC Blazer and was charged.

Police said the fence post was bent over, with no damage.

Two injured

State police at Mansfield said two Canton residents were injured in a one-vehicle crash that occurred at 5:03 p.m. Aug. 3 on Gleason Road in Ward Township, Tioga County, Pa.

Police said the driver, Heather N. Selfridge, 33, of Canton, had an injury of unknown severity, and her passenger, Brandon D. Sannan, 28, of Canton, had a minor injury. Another passenger was not injured.

According to police, Selfridge was traveling south on Gleason Road and was negotiating a left curve, when her Jeep Grand Cherokee started to slide in a counterclockwise direction; struck a boulder just off the roadway, west of Gleason Road; and rolled onto its hood, where it came to final rest.

Police said Selfridge was charged with a violation for the crash.

No injuries reported

State police at Mansfield said a Gillett man was not injured in a crash at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 13 on Forest Road in Elk Township, Tioga County, Pa.

Drivers involved in the crash were Shawn Seifried, 42, of Gillett, who was not injured, and Laurence C. Butler, 42, of Wellsboro, who was not injured. There was one passenger in each vehicle, and neither was injured.

According to police, Seifried was traveling east and while passing the other vehicle, which was traveling in the opposite direction, the left side mirror of his vehicle struck the left side mirror of the other vehicle, causing minor damage to both vehicles, which came to a controlled stop.

No one injured in four-vehicle crash

State police at Towanda said no one was injured in a four-vehicle crash at 12:50 p.m. Aug. 22 on Route 6 at Wallace Road in West Burlington Township.

According to police, a charge for a violation of "vehicle entering or crossing roadway" will be filed on Spencer through District Court 42-3-01.

This week, the Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program is asking for your help to bring closure to another credit card fraud case. At approximately 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 19, an 89-year-old woman and her daughter were shopping at TJ Maxx, 4851 Commonwealth Center Parkway. During the shopping trip, the mother left her shopping cart for a moment to look at something with her daughter. Her purse was left in the cart, and when she returned to collect the cart, both the cart and the purse were gone. Less than 1 hour later, the victim discovered that two of her stolen credit cards were used at the Best Buy on Koger Center Boulevard. The purchases exceeded $7,600. Surveillance images from the Best Buy revealed a white male and a white female using the stolen cards. The white male suspect appeared to be between 25-35 years of age. He had short dark hair, sunglasses on his head, and was wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt with blue denim jeans. The female appeared to be in her 40s or 50s, with short hair pulled into a ponytail, sunglasses on her head, wearing a dark-colored blouse and pants.
