Tuesday — Police reported that Travis Gleeson, 45, of Portersville is suspected in a hit-and-run crash earlier this month on the 4100 block of County Line Road in Scott Township.

The investigation began after police got a call for a suspicious vehicle parked partially on the road. Troopers found the vehicle, a pickup truck, with extensive damage to the front end and undercarriage.

Police said they determined Gleeson was driving the truck and “caused property damaged to nearby residences.” Additionally, according to a police report, the truck was not equipped with an ignition interlock device, in violation of a driving restriction on Gleeson’s license.

Charges are pending the ongoing investigation, police said.
