Pair indicted for series of burglaries

Sep. 29—A man and woman arrested in June for a series of burglaries in the Mount Vernal community have been indicted on a superseding indictment on eight charges each by the Cumberland County Grand Jury and face arraignment Tuesday in Criminal Court.

Jesse Drew Johnson, 36, Bayleu St., Rockwood, was indicted on two counts of burglary, auto burglary, attempted burglary, vandalism of up to $1,000, two counts of criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.

Tonya Marie Davis, 42, Fall Creek Rd., was indicted on two counts of burglary, auto burglary, attempted burglary, vandalism of up to $1,000, two counts of criminal trespassing and assault.

On June 21, deputies were dispatched to a burglary call on Mount Vernal Rd. and arrived to find a Dodge Dakota pickup parked in the driveway that was posted with "no trespassing" signs. They found a woman as a nearby residence and took her into custody.

The deputies then found a man lying on the ground beside the pickup truck. That man, identified as Jackson, resisted arrest and was stunned three times by a Taser weapon before submitting to arrest.

At the same time, the woman struck a deputy trying to take her into custody with her knee before being placed under control and arrest.

Both will appear in Cumberland County Criminal Court Oct. 4 for a readout of the charges, along with others indicted by the grand jury on on Sept. 19. The couple were originally indicted in August but the case was re-presented to the grand jury for corrections.

An indictment is merely an accusation and is not evidence of guilt. The grand jury merely ruled there exists sufficient reason to forward the charges for further judicial review.

The following persons were indicted during the September session of the grand jury:
