Monday — Stephani D. Piper, 44, of Bruin was arraigned on charges of driving under the influence of numerous prescription drugs and on alcohol stemming from a reported one-vehicle crash earlier this year in Petrolia.

Police said they got the call for a wreck about 12:30 p.m. Feb. 1 on the 200 block of Argyle Street. They found a car stopped in the middle of the road with two flat tires. The car had apparently struck a curb.

Piper told police that she was on her way to get the car inspected, according to court documents, when “all of a sudden, her tire blew out.” She also admitted that she was “on various medications due to recent surgeries.” One of those medications was a fentanyl patch.

Police took her for an evaluation by a drug recognition expert. She also was given a preliminary breath test that showed she had recently consumed alcohol.

Piper eventually was given a blood test. Toxicology reports indicated she had the following drugs in her system: gabapentin, diazepam, nordiazepam, oxazepam, venlafaxine, desmethylvenlafaxine, carbamazepine, olanzapine, fentanyl and norfentanyl.

She also had a blood-alcohol level of 0.07 percent.

She is charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol, driving an unregistered vehicle, disregarding traffic lanes, driving a vehicle without valid inspection, careless driving and not wearing a seat belt.

Piper was arraigned on charges and released on her own recognizance.

May 1 — The owner of a Butler car repair shop is facing five criminal counts and three summaries in connection with an alleged fraudulent service job he did in February.

Police charged Patrick T. Rape, 62, of Oakland Township, who owns City Auto Works on West Wayne Street, with two counts each of deceptive business practices and theft by deception and one count of receiving stolen property, all misdemeanors.

He also was cited for three counts of violating motor vehicle code rules and regulations.

According to court documents, a customer Feb. 26 had his pickup truck towed to Rape’s shop after the brakes failed. Police noted the customer was an out-of-towner and never had any service done there before.

The defendant “fraudulently charged (the victim) replacement of 2 brake lines when only 1 brake line was replaced,” a police affidavit said.

Additionally, the affidavit noted the “fraudulent line that wasn’t replaced was claimed to be from the front to the ABS module.”

Of the customer’s $360.40 bill, police said, the fraudulent charge totaled $180.20.

Police said he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence after failing field sobriety tests. He refused to take a breath test.

Millison is charged with driving an unregistered vehicle, driving a vehicle without valid inspection, careless driving and reckless driving.
