Earlier this month, state police investigated a suspicious person/suspicious vehicle incident at the parking lot of Sheetz in Antis Township.
The investigation revealed what police called a “bevy of criminal activity”.
The vehicle had previously been involved in a minor accident on Interstate 99 just north of the Bellwood exit. The vehicle contained items that two suspects gave conflicting stories about to authorities.
It was determined the items were stolen from a private club in Centre County hours earlier. A consent search of the vehicle allowed troopers to recover the stolen property, which included rolled coins and formerly frozen food.
A male suspect from Centre County was taken into custody for possession of stolen property. While the female suspect, 24-year old Jessica Dawn Turiano of Altoona, was taken into custody for possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving under the influence of a controlled substance.
The suspects were lodged in Blair County Jail on probation detainers.
At the time of their initial press release, police said the stolen property charges would be filed in Centre County. The drug paraphernalia charge was to be filed in Blair County. The DUI charge, pending lab results was also expected to be filed in Blair County.
