A Hempfield man will serve up to 23 months in county prison for stealing thousands of dollars worth of scrap metal and damaging three vehicles at the Westmoreland Career and Technology Center.
The Trib reports that 34-year-old Jason Allan Edwards was arrested in March after officials at the New Stanton school told state police they had been having issues with scrap metal and vehicle parts being stolen since early January, according to court papers. He was seen there Jan. 7 and 28 and Feb. 15 and 16. He was seen on surveillance footage from the January 7th incident stealing the metal.
Edwards pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of theft, defiant trespass, burglary and criminal mischief in three cases.
