Police. W. Pa. woman claims twin stole hotel items
BIG BEAVER, Pa.
Police say a western Pennsylvania woman blamed her nonexistent twin sister with stealing items from a hotel room.
The Beaver County Times reported Wednesday that police charged 31-year-old Jennifer Brown of Rochester with false reports to police and theft.
State police say Brown took some bed clothes, an alarm clock, coffee pot, basket and a hair dryer — worth a total of $206 — from the Holiday Inn in Big Beaver on Aug. 5. Police say they found Brown in another hotel nearby, and she claimed her twin sister had taken the items.
When police found no record of a sister, they say Brown claimed her sister had just returned the items, which police found in the other hotel room.
Brown doesn’t have an attorney. And police say relatives confirmed she doesn’t have a twin sister.
Police: Fast-food reach caused Mass. car crash
WESTFIELD, Mass.
State police say a Massachusetts teenager was reaching into a bag of fast food on her lap when her car collided with a trooper’s cruiser over the weekend.
Authorities allege a car driven by 18-year-old Tia Grover of Westfield went through a flashing red light about 12:30 a.m. Sunday just before she was struck by the cruiser driven by Trooper Daniel Moran, who had a flashing yellow light.
A state police spokesman tells The Republican that evidence suggests Grover was eating from a McDonald’s bag. Police say she told investigators that she doesn’t remember how the accident occurred.
Grover has been cited for failure to yield to a traffic signal, failure to wear a seat belt and impeded operation of a motor vehicle for having food in her lap.
