Pair charged after towing company trespass

Two people are facing charges after repeatedly returning to a Lewisburg, Pennsylvania towing company in an effort to reclaim an impounded vehicle, police said. Hannah Elizabeth Schaeffer, 21, and Ryan Lundy Watkins, 28, were charged following multiple incidents at Buck’s Towing on Sept. 11. Charges were filed April 10 through the office of District Judge Jeffrey A. Rowe.

According to an affidavit by Officer Cole Wirt, the vehicle had been impounded earlier that day after a traffic stop revealed marijuana, expired registration, and illegal window tint. Watkins, who was driving, was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

Later that day, police responded to a disturbance at the towing company, where the pair demanded their vehicle and were told to leave. Despite acknowledging the warning, they returned twice more over several hours, each time causing further disruption, police said.

Officers eventually arrested both for trespassing. A search of Watkins’ backpack uncovered marijuana, and a subsequent vehicle search revealed a loaded 9mm handgun.

Both face multiple misdemeanor charges. Source: https://www.northcentralpa.com
