Strikes tree

HERNDON - A 17-year-old Shamokin male was issued a traffic citation after crashing along Herndon Road in Jackson Township about 6 a.m. Saturday.

State police at Stonington said the teen was driving a 1996 Chevrolet S10 east and while rounding a right curve he crossed into the oncoming lane, exited the roadway and struck a tree with the pickup's front end.

The teen made arrangements to have the disabled vehicle removed without reporting the incident to authorities, state police said. He did not report having been injured.

He was cited for failing to drive within his lane of traffic.

Driver cited

PAXINOS - A Shamokin man will be cited for careless driving after he allegedly struck a traffic sign and left the scene, according to state police at Stonington.

Michael T. Karpinski, 22, was driving a 1998 Ford Expedition south on Route 61 about 2:40 p.m. Thursday when he allegedly lost control, drove onto the median and struck a "No U-turn" sign near the Route 487 intersection. He continued south and pulled into Masser's Farm Market to assess any damage before driving into Shamokin, where city police stopped his vehicle at Jack Williams Tire, police said.

Karpinski reportedly told police he lost control after reaching down to turn on the vehicle's air conditioner. According to police, he said he left the scene because "he was shaken" and wasn't sure who to call about the crash.

Karpinski sustained a minor injury. A passenger, Christopher E. Henley, 21, of Shamokin, was unharmed. Both were wearing seat belts.

Retail theft

SELINSGROVE - State police at Selinsgrove filed theft charges against three Sunbury residents in separate incidents Friday at Wal-Mart along the Susquehanna Trail, Routes 11 and 15.

CHESTERFIELD/COLONIAL HEIGHTS - The Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program wants to help catch two thieves.

At approximately 12:40 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10, a car pulled into a cul-de-sac in the Cascade Creek Subdivision of Chesterfield County. Two men got out and walked around the victim's house to the back deck. One of the male suspects removed the screen from a window, slid the window open and went into the home. The alarm went off, but the suspect who entered continued into the home. He stole a nickel-plated Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun and cash.

The victim had installed a security system, which captured the entire incident on video. Both suspects were black males between 18-25 years of age. One wore a black skull cap and a white T-shirt. The second wore a red hat and a white T-shirt. They arrived and left in a white, four-door sedan. You can see the images of the suspects at www.crimesolvers.net.

If you have information about ANY unsolved crime in, or person wanted by, Chesterfield County or the city of Colonial Heights, call Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660. Submit a tip electronically at crimesolvers.net or Text-A-Tip by texting "WATSON" plus your tip to CRIMES (274637). All three methods provide anonymity to those giving tips. If your tip helps to solve a crime or catch a fugitive, you could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.
