NORTHWESTERN MERCER COUNTY — At least 13 people were picked up Friday and Saturday in what police called “a warrant sweep of northwestern Mercer County.”
Police from the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department, Greenville-West Salem Township, Hempfield Township and Jamestown teamed up on the sweep, a news release said.
Ten people were picked up between 3 and 10 p.m. Friday on outstanding warrants and three people turned themselves in at the district magistrate’s office and took care of their warrants before being arrested, police said.
Police used dogs to canvass the streets of Greenville, looking for about 20 people they said have eluded them.
Greenville Chief Dennis M. Stephens said sweeps help them clean warrants out of their books and remind criminals that police are still on the lookout.
According to police, these Greenville residents were picked up on outstanding warrants: Donald Seaborn, 47, of Taylor Street; Kimberly Weilacker, 44, of Garfield Avenue; John Souders, 23, of Main Street; Wayne Fitzgerald, 37, of East Stewart Avenue; and Daryl Cameron, 46, of Harrison Street.
Also picked up, police said, were: Daniel Johnston, 33, of South Seventh Street, Sharpsville; Jennifer Wansack, 34, of Woodview Drive, Pymatuning Township; Terry Hitchcock, 46, of Ray School Road, Jamestown; Amanda Bell, 26, of Pymatuning Township; and Robert Cadman, 30, of Washington Street, Jamestown.
What the warrants were for was unavailable Saturday, police said.
Clark Armour, 55, of 82 S. Second Street, Greenville, was also arrested on drug-related charges, police said.
Police said they made a sweep of all local drinking establishments but didn’t make any arrests.
Two others were also picked up Saturday afternoon on warrants in Greenville by Greenville-West Salem police, they added.
Allen Guesman, 37, of Burghill, was picked up at about 12:25 p.m. Saturday on a warrant from Hermitage police after a traffic stop at South Front Street and South Second Street in Greenville, and Walter Redmond, 51, of South Otter Street, Mercer, was picked up at about 1:45 p.m. Saturday on Columbia Avenue, police said.
