ROBBERY AT LUKOIL - AND OTHER ARRAIGNMENTS

Over the weekend, two teens robbed the Lukoil gas station on Hannum Avenue. At around 04:25 Saturday morning, the suspects entered the store, both displaying weapons - one displayed a knife, the other what appeared to be a handgun. One of the actors, a 16-year-old from Willow Street, Lancaster County, was arraigned this morning in front of Judge Bruno on charges of Robbery, Theft by Unlawful Taking, Recieving Stolen Property, Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, Terroristic Threats, Possession of an Instrument of Crime, Possession of a Weapon, and Conspiracy counts. He was committed to Chester County Prison in lieu of $100,000 cash bail with a preliminary hearing scheduled for next Tuesday (15-1-01, CR-0000262-07). Although this suspect is being tried as an adult, his name is not being posted at this time due to his age. As of this morning, the second actor remains at large, however WCPD reportedly have an idea who the actor is. If the second subject is arraigned tonight, of course, WC Unplugged will let you know...

In other arraignments in front of Judge Bruno this morning:

Joseph Spross, 21, of Glenolden, Delaware County, was arrested early this morning for assaulting his girlfriend during the course of a domestic arguement in the East End according to a complaint filed by Ofc. Jeffrey Murray. Spross was charged with Simple Assault, Harassment, and Disorderly Conduct; he was committed to CCP in lieu of $7,500 cash bail with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Friday in front of Judge Knapp (15-1-04, CR-0000318-07).

Alexander Hamer III, 30, of Tredyffrin, was arrested last night by Tredyffrin police after a traffic stop. Over the course of their investigation, officers found cause to charge Hamer with Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession With Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphanalia, Possession With Intent to Deliver Drug Paraphanalia, and three traffic offenses. Bail was set at $50,000/10 percent, mainly because he has had no prior criminal contact and his parents had appeared in court on his behalf; at the arraignment, he was represented by his mother, who is an attorney. He was also ordered placed on electronic home monitoring upon release from CCP. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday at Chesterbrook District Court in front of Judge Jeremy Blackburn (15-4-01, CR-0000117-07).

Jay Barski, 49, of West Goshen, was arrested by Tredyffrin Township police after a domestic assault on his girlfriend earlier in the week. Ofc. Michael DeHoratius of Tredyffrin Police filed a complaint charging Barski with Simple Assault, Harassment, and two counts of Disorderly Conduct. Barski had indicated to Tredyffrin Police that he would surrender on Monday, however officers picked him up either last night or early this morning. During his arraignment, Barski got on Judge Bruno's bad side by acting evasive and twice lying to the judge while being asked the standard arraignment questions. Barski was committed to CCP in lieu of $10,000 cash bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday in Chesterbrook District Court (15-4-01, CR-0000116-07).

One last on-call arraignment for the weekend is about to begin, so we'll see what comes out of this session.

Tomorrow starts the Criminal Term for Judge Howard F. Riley, Jr.'s "Rotation I" - a couple of huge trials are expected to take place during the course of his two-week term. Also, the second half of Judge Thomas Gavin's split four-week term and the second week of Judge Anthony Sarcione's "Rotation II" term round up the week at Common Pleas Court. Tomorrow at Downingtown District Court, the four robbery suspects from the PNC Bank robbery in East Bradford are expected to have preliminary hearings in front of Judge Rita Arnold; whether or not they are continued remains to be seen. Also, later this week, a recap of cases from the recently completed Criminal Terms of Judges James MacElree and Ronald Nagle. This will be a pretty active week on the site to check in regularly or sign up for the email alert feature in the top left corner of the site...
