CRANBERRY TWP — These items have been collected from the office of District Judge David Kovach.

Douglas P. Frampton, 32, of Strattanville on Friday had his charges of bad checks held for county court.

Frampton allegedly wrote a bad check for $5,383 in July 2016 to Groff Tractor & Equipment in Cranberry Township. After the check was returned to the company that same month, the company wrote a letter to Frampton demanding compensation. However, the letter was returned unclaimed. Frampton will be arraigned in county court on Feb. 21.

Austin M. Edwards, 20, of Slippery Rock on Friday waived charges of driving under the influence, drug possession and retail theft stemming from an incident on Oct. 20. Edwards was allegedly found with marijuana in the Cranberry Township Walmart after driving erratically on Interstate 79 earlier in the day. Two triaxle trucks were forced to take evasive action onto the I-79 median with one of them getting stuck in the mud. Edwards also allegedly stole about $35 worth of items from Walmart. He was arrested later that evening in Slippery Rock and charged with DUI.
