10:08 a.m. Thursday — A 48-year-old Lyndora man suffered an apparent overdose at a home on the 400 block of Virginia Avenue.

Police were called to the home where two others found Robert Halstead down and out. Another man who was there administered the opioid antidote drug Narcan, which revived Halstead.

A medical crew got to the home but Halstead refused further treatment. Police said he admitted using at least two bags of heroin. He later burned the bags, according to a police report. Officers also found a syringe and spoon.

Wednesday — Police nabbed a wanted man outside an East Jefferson Street convenience store. But the suspect, Bradley J. Harriett, 43, of Butler, ended up in more trouble when officers say they found him with suspected drugs.

Police had been looking for Harriett since Monday when they got an arrest warrant for him in connection with a recent break-in at an apartment on Third Street.

The defendant is accused of breaking into the home March 31 while the tenant was in the hospital. He is charged with felony trespass.

Police Monday initially spotted Harriett drive away from at his home on the 300 block of Pleasantview Avenue. They tracked his vehicle to the store, where he was arrested on the warrant.

A subsequent search, according to a police report, found him with a medicine bottle containing suspected crack cocaine. In plain view in his car, police said, were several stamp bags of suspected heroin.

Police said that in the latest case he is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

District Judge Lewis Stoughton arraigned Harriett on the felony charge in the warrant. The defendant was placed in Butler County Prison on $10,000 bail following arraignment.

Monday — A Butler man already jailed on other charges was arraigned on a new charge for allegedly stealing a woman’s cell phone April 2 at her home on Shore Street.

But that’s not all Witt A. Yost Jr., 26, stole, police said. He also smashed a piggy bank belonging to the woman’s daughter, taking $10 that was in it.

Police said Yost knew the woman.

He was arraigned on a misdemeanor count of theft in the case. He was returned to the Butler County Prison with an additional $500 added to his bail.

Yost has been in the prison since April 7 when Butler police arrested him on charges he stole a man’s winter coat and an Xbox One video game console and video game from the same Shore Street home. He is charged in that case with misdemeanor counts of theft and receiving stolen property.

In all, he remains in the prison on $5,500 bail and for a probation violation.

Wednesday — Albert L. Claypoole Jr., 45, of Lyndora was charged with illegally trying to buy a gun last fall. Claypoole allegedly lied on his application to buy the firearm Nov. 24 at the Rural King store, Clearview Mall in Center Township.

When his information was entered into the Pennsylvania Instant Check system, an automated system by which gun dealers can determine if someone can legally buy a gun in the state, he was denied the purchase.

April 13 — Police filed misdemeanor drug charges against two Butler County men in connection with a nearly two-year-old traffic stop in Clearfield Township.

Adam M. Will, 37, of Butler Township and Robert M. Pacelli, 47, of Center Township are both charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, and possession of a small amount of marijuana.

A patrol trooper on Route 422 near Shuler Road spotted the defendants’ car with a malfunctioning taillight and stopped them about 10 p.m. May 28, 2015. Will was driving the car.

Pacelli admitted there was drug contraband in the vehicle, according to court documents, and Will gave his consent for police to search it. Among the items seized was a container of marijuana, two Suboxones, four drug-smoking pipes and four syringes. It was not immediately known why it took so long to filed charges in the case. The investigating trooper was unavailable for comment this morning.

April 13 — Kerrigan D. Neff, 18, of Summit Township was charged with being more than twice the legal limit for alcohol stemming from a traffic stop last month in Summit Township. She was pulled over, police said, after a red light violation at Route 422 and Bonniebrook Road and for traveling into oncoming traffic.

Neff, who had a “strong smell” of alcohol, was arrested after failing field sobriety tests, according to court documents.

A breath test showed her blood-alcohol level was 0.182 percent. A level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated under state law.

In addition to driving under the influence, Neff is charged with DUI by a minor, failing to stop at a red light, failing to keep right, disregarding traffic lanes and failing to notify authorities of a change of address.
