A rural Altoona woman was the victim of theft at her residence in Antis Township sometime between March 4 and April 4.

A 32-year-old Bellwood woman was injured in a domestic dispute on the last day of March.
State police said Jennifer Lehman sought treatment at Tyrone Hospital for minor injuries suffered during an alleged domestic dispute between her and a live-in boyfriend.
Police went to the hospital to take the woman’s statement.

A Bellwood man had items stolen from a semitrailer that was parked on State Route 453 just south of Tyrone in Snyder Township between 8 p.m. on April 5 and 10 a.m. on April 6.
Police said someone took a washer and refrigerator that belonged to Melvin Schandelmeir.

State police investigated a vehicle fire on Old Route 220 at Logan Bell Lane in Antis Township on April 2 at 1 a.m.
The owner of the truck, 53-year-old Michael Rubine of Altoona, was contacted about the fire and said he was not aware the vehicle had been stolen. Rubine then made a stolen vehicle report with the Altoona City Police department.

Several vehicles and a pedestrian were involved in an accident at the parking lot of Austin Texas Hotdogs in Antis Township on April 2, shortly after 6 p.m.
The crash happened when a vehicle driven by 80-year-old Raymond G. Creely was leaving a parked position and began backing up. Creeley’s vehicle accelerated in reverse and hit the front of an unattended car. That vehicle, a Honda Accord, had minor damage as a result of the collision.
Creeley’s vehicle continued to travel and struck the right rear side of a Chevrolet Cavalier. That vehicle was pushed into a pedestrian, 30-year-old Michael Travis Rhoades of Tyrone. The left side of that vehicle hit Rhoades’ right leg as he jumped out of the way. The Cavalier continued to travel sideways and the left rear corner of it struck the right side of a parked Nissan Pathfinder that was occupied by two people.
Rhoades was treated at Tyrone Hospital and released.
Creely and a passenger in his car were both wearing seat belts and suffered no injuries. The occupants of the Pathfinder also were not injured. The Cavalier and Pathfinder had to be towed from the scene. Both had moderate damage.
