Friday — Jennifer L. Soose, 37, of Butler was charged with taking $370 from a purse that was left behind in April at the Subway restaurant on West Cunningham Street.

The owner told police that she was at the restaurant April 30 and left, forgetting her purse. When she returned, the staff informed her a boy had brought the purse to them. The money, however, was missing.

Police later reviewed surveillance video at the business that showed the victim’s unattended purse on the floor by the table, according to court documents. At some point a woman, later identified as Soose, is seen taking the purse and leaving the restaurant.

The alleged thief gets into a car and drives out of the parking lot. About 20 minutes later, police said the video shows, the car returns. A boy gets out and brings the purse into the Subway.

Police posted the images of the woman and boy, from the video, on the department’s Facebook page. Tips subsequently identified both, documents said.

Thursday — An Allegheny County woman was charged with disorderly conduct for causing an “undue inconvenience and alarm” to sheriff’s deputies, other agencies and a Pittsburgh hospital.

The trouble with Heather L. Morgan, 35, of McKees Rocks started June 20 when Kennedy Township police in Allegheny County arrested her on a bench warrant.

The warrant, according to Butler County Court records, was issued June 16 after Morgan failed to appeared for a probation violation hearing in a felony theft-related case.

County sheriff’s deputies drove to the Kennedy police station to get the wanted woman, who is pregnant and receiving methadone treatment.

On their drive back to Butler, she repeatedly told deputies that she had not received her required methadone dosage that day, documents said. At Butler County Prison, based on that information, medical station determined she needed the methadone “to reduce the risk to both the defendant and the unborn child” court documents said.

Deputies were called back to the prison and drove Morgan to UPMC Magee-Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh for what was believed to be her required treatment.

But once at the hospital, documents said, a check of her medical records found that she had, in fact, received her required methadone dosage at 1 p.m. that day.
