Police: Woman steals steak, makeup from Walmart

Kelly Township, Pa. — A 35-year-old Watsontown woman allegedly took makeup and a steak from a Walmart store when she failed to scan them at the self-checkout. Olga Est Montilla-Trejo was charged for the alleged theft from Sept. 26 at the Lewisburg Walmart store. Trooper Mark Reasner of PSP Milton was called to investigate. Store personnel told police Montilla-Trejo was at a self-checkout but did not scan items. She instead picked them up and placed them back into her cart covering them with a plastic bag, according to the affidavit. While Montilla-Trejo was using the self-checkout, the system shut down the register she was using. Store staff directed her to use another self-checkout. Police say Montilla-Trejo continued to conceal items in her cart as she used the checkout. Store staff stopped Montilla-Trejo when she tried to leave the store.

Several northcentral schools receive bomb threats Friday

State College, Pa. — Three schools in north-central Pennsylvania have reported receiving bomb threats by phone Friday morning, prompting evacuations and K-9 searches. State College Police said Mount Nittany Elementary School received a threatening call that was immediately reported. Investigators said the threat was not credible and is believed to have been a hoax “swatting” incident connected to similar calls at other schools across Pennsylvania. Out of caution, police provided a presence at schools throughout the district. At Renn Elementary in Lairdsville, East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins said the school received a bomb threat call at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were notified and the building was evacuated. Students were moved to an off-site location. When K-9 units needed additional time, the district began parent reunification. All students were reunited with parents or sent home on buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later cleared the building. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. No one was injured. In Lewisburg, the Buffalo Valley Regional Police Department said an individual called Linntown Intermediate School and reported that a bomb had been placed inside. Teachers and staff were present for parent-teacher conferences and were evacuated. A K-9
