State police reports today include a Blairsville man taken into custody last Wednesday on an outstanding warrant. 34-year-old Nicholas Bruner was pulled over for a traffic stop on Route 119 at Lloyd Street in Burrell Township, and the warrant turned up on a computer check. Bruner is charged with simple assault, criminal trespass, and harassment (physical contact) for an incident last Monday.
Police also report a few drug investigations. A 25-year-old Rural Valley man overdosed on Friday afternoon at a location along Benjamin Franklin Highway in Shelocta. Police seized heroin from him. They do not report his medical status or whether or not he was arrested.
A 30-year-old woman and 35-year-old man, both from Indiana, were taken into custody on July 7th after police were contacted in the early morning hours by Martins supermarket personnel. The suspects had been in a car in the parking lot for hours, apparently drifting into and out of consciousness. They were found to have a controlled substance and to also both have outstanding warrants.
