A Penn State female freshman will be cited for disorderly conduct and charged $285 in cleanup costs after she and a partner were caught twice having sex at Beaver Hill apartments, 340 E. Beaver Ave, just after 7 a.m. Saturday.

State College police said A.W. & Sons staff caught the pair having sex in the third-floor laundry room, and asked them to leave. The couple moved to the seventh floor, where they continued to have sex, resulting in a biohazard cleanup.

Police said the partner’s identity was not clear in surveillance video footage.

A man used a taser on his estranged wife Friday night at the Grange Fair during a dispute over a child custody issue, state police at Rockview said.

Steven L. Peters, 27, of Chesapeake, Va., is charged with Simple assault, a misdemeanor, and harassment, a summary. He was released Saturday from the Centre County jail on $7,500 bond.

Police said the alleged assault happened shortly after 11 p.m. Friday near the maintenance facility on the fairgrounds in Potter Township. Peters had gone there to get the couple’s children, but an altercation involving pushing and shoving resulted, said police. Police didn’t say who did the shoving and pushing.

But they said that’s when Peters used the taser on the woman, stunning her arm and leaving red marks.
Peters is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Newlyweds charged with shoplifting supplies for wedding reception

By CDT staff reports

Posted: 11:26am on Aug 24, 2011; Modified: 10:37am on Aug 25, 2011

A newlywed couple is accused of stealing more than $1,000 worth of merchandise from  Wegmans Saturday that police say they intended to use at their wedding reception later that afternoon.  The value of the stolen items totaled $1,049.26, police said.

Arthur Phillips III, 32, and Brittany M. Lurch, 22, both of Centre Hall, married Aug. 18, and scheduled their wedding reception for 5:30 p.m. Saturday, police said. But at 2:30 p.m., Patton Township police were called to Wegmans in the Colonnade shopping center for a report of a retail theft.

They watched the couple on surveillance camers put items in their shopping cart, and walk out to their car without paying, according to an affidavit filed by police. They then arrested Phillips and Lurch, who told police the items were intended for their reception.

The couple didn’t make it to the reception. Charged with retail theft and receiving stolen property, both misdemeanors, Phillips and Lurch remain in Centre County jail in lieu of $2,500 bail.

When searching their car for the stolen items, police said they found a glass smoking pipe with marijuana residue, and Phillips also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

They each waived their right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Police said the incident happened about 4:15 a.m. Thursday at a Minit Mart, 106 N. Atherton St. The man reportedly put the candy bars in his pockets, then tried to buy a bag of potato chips before leaving the store, a police report shows.

He was tracked down after his driver's license was discovered in an aisle of the Minit Mart, having fallen from his person, police said.

Charges in the matter are pending. The man's name was not immediately released Thursday.
