Monday — Police obtained an arrest warrant for a Bedford County teenager accused of stealing a sport utility vehicle in February after escaping from Summit Academy on Herman Road in Summit Township.

The suspect, 18-year-old Donald J. Chrisko of New Paris, allegedly fled the reform school Feb. 2 along with two other students, both boys, who were not identified in court documents.

One of the boys eventually turned himself in, police said, when he learned that Chrisko and the other student planned to steal a vehicle.

The defendant and his underage accomplice are accused of driving off in a 2011 Jeep Cherokee that they found in the driveway of the owner’s home.

Authorities on Feb. 21 recovered the stolen Jeep hundreds of miles away at a home in Perry County. State police in Perry County subsequently arrested the boy who escaped with Chrisko when they saw him come out of the house, documents said.

The owner of that home told investigators that her son was with the boy and Chrisko earlier that day, but that her son “had no knowledge the vehicle was stolen,” according to a police affidavit.

The defendant’s alleged accomplice admitted driving the vehicle to the home in Perry County “because he needed a place to stay.” The youth also acknowledged that Chrisko was with him earlier that day but that he no longer knew the defendant’s whereabouts.

Chrisko is charged with felony counts of theft and conspiracy to commit theft, and a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle.

The charges in Butler County juvenile court against the boy that Chrisko was with were not immediately known.
