Stolen ATV cases waived to court
BROWNSVILLE – Two unrelated cases involving stolen all-terrain vehicles were waived to court Wednesday in proceedings before District Justice Herb Mitchell. Two of the four charges of receiving stolen property that had been filed against John Ulery, 46, of 515 Green St., were withdrawn after he produced receipts for the purchase of the quads. Two other counts of receiving stolen property were waived to court. The ATV’s in question have a combined value of $6,945, and Erie Insurance owned both. Two of the quads had been reported stolen to the West Virginia State Police. The quads were found in Ulery’s garage.
Michael Bennett, 34, of 62 Hill St., Republic, also agreed to have a charge of receiving stolen property that had been filed against him waived to court. Bennett was found by Luzerne Township police operating a Honda Fourtrax ATV that had been reported stolen to the state police at Uniontown.
According to the police complaint, Bennett said he had purchased the quad for $1,800 at a flea market, but didn’t receive any of the paperwork on it. The quad was registered to Ronald Rhodes of 9 May St., Fairchance.
