WINSLOW TOWNSHIP – A 32-year-old Reynoldsville man, Jordan M. Bogacki, has been accused of trying to stab and threatening to kill two men who tried to help him after he wrecked his vehicle Sunday night in Winslow Township.

According to the report from state police at DuBois, a silver Mazda 3 operated by Bogacki was traveling west on Wayne Road. It was rounding a left-hand curve when it traveled off the north side of the roadway.

State police say its front-end/passenger’s side impacted an embankment and multiple tree stumps. As a result, it started spinning clockwise until coming to an uncontrolled final rest partially in the west lane.

A 71-year-old Reynoldsville man and a 29-year-old DuBois man arrived at the scene to assist Bogacki. However, he allegedly became combative and attempted to stab them with a knife.

Bogacki threatened to kill both men while holding the knife, state police say. He then fled on foot but was found and taken into custody without incident.  Bogacki also allegedly damaged the state police patrol vehicle while in custody.

Carrie C. Bish, 20, is charged with felony counts of receiving stolen property, firearms not to be carried without a license, criminal conspiracy/firearms not to be carried and criminal conspiracy/receiving stolen property. Both are free on $5,000, unsecured bail.

According to the affidavits of probable cause, on Oct. 24 police were dispatched to the area of the 600 block of South Main Street in DuBois for a report of a suspicious man and woman carrying drugs and a gun. The caller said the woman had the pistol in her purse and identified the couple as McCartney and Bish.

Police were able to recognize the two as they were walking along West Long Avenue. As the officers spoke with them, Bish kept holding her purse tight to her body and McCartney kept placing his hands in his pockets. They were separated.

Bish was advised of the report and she admitted she had a gun in her purse. She allegedly emptied the rounds out of the gun before pulling it out of the bag. After she turned the 38 caliber revolver over to the officer, she was taken into custody.

A second officer was speaking with McCartney when he challenged why he was being detained. The officer explained the report to him. It was at this point that Bish admitted to having a gun.

The first officer told the second officer to take McCartney into custody, too. As he was searched, the officer found what was identified as four bundles of heroin and a small bag of marijuana, according to the complaint.

In an interview with police, Bish also stated the McCartney put the gun in her purse, but she didn’t know where he got it.

Nicole L. Luzier (Provided photo)

CLEARFIELD – Preliminary hearings were continued until Dec. 28 for Nicole L. Luzier, 27, of Clearfield, who has been accused of neglecting her child and fighting with a woman.

Luzier has been charged by Lawrence Township police with endangering the welfare of children, recklessly endangering another person, harassment and disorderly conduct.

In a second case, she has been charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and defiant trespass. Luzier is incarcerated at the Clearfield County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail in each case.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, on Dec. 11 officers were dispatched to a report of a physical domestic disturbance at a Log Cabin Road residence. Clearfield County Control reported multiple hang-ups.

Upon arrival to the scene, the woman said Luzier left when she called 911. The two had been arguing over Luzier’s two-year-old daughter being unattended outside around 10:40 a.m. in 20-degree weather.

According to the woman, the child was on her front porch screaming and crying. She was only wearing a T-shirt and diaper with one shoe on and one boot on. She had “severe redness” to her hands and feet and she was shivering “uncontrollably.”

She took her inside to wrap her in a blanket; it was unknown how long she had been outside unattended.

The woman provided police with cell phone video she had of the child directly after bringing her inside, and she could be heard crying. The child also had visible redness on her hands and feet.

The woman said she attempted to make contact with Luzier to see what was going on. She wasn’t able to reach Luzier by telephone and Luzier eventually returned her call around 11:20 a.m. Luzier then came over and took custody of her daughter. She returned to her residence.

Luzier yelled at her and blamed her for the incident, the woman told police. When she returned to her residence, Luzier kept calling the woman but she didn’t answer.

The woman said this is when Luzier returned to her residence, and they engaged in an argument. The woman said she attempted to call 911, but Luzier ripped the phone from the wall.

When she went to a back bedroom to retrieve a cell phone, she said Luzier attempted to take it from her.  When it escalated into a mutual scuffle, items were thrown around the residence.

Luzier also allegedly choked the woman around her neck and head-butted her. Officers observed markings on the woman’s neck and her hair in clumps on the floor.

The woman told police she did defend herself by punching Luzier in the face and pulling out some of her hair. She eventually managed to get Luzier outside and locked her out.

Police also made contact with Luzier, who had visible markings to her chest, a small cut on the side of her cheek and superficial cuts to the back of her neck.

During her interview with police, she claimed her daughter walked to the woman’s residence and she wasn’t aware she was missing. She said she must have fallen asleep after attempting to watch a movie with her. When she went to get her daughter from next door, she said the woman threatened to call the cops and she left.

According to Luzier, the woman followed her back home, kept making things worse and it was upsetting her. She said the woman left and later she wanted to find out if she had called police. Luzier said she called the woman who didn’t answer and she went back over to speak with her in person.

Luzier admitted to ripping the woman’s phone from the wall. When the woman shoved her, she said she head-butted her, and they both exchanged punches. After the altercation, Luzier said she went back home.

At approximately 3:28 p.m., the woman called police, saying she’d received approximately eight phone calls from Luzier. She also had four voice messages in which Luzier allegedly called her names and said she was a “no good person.”

The woman said Luzier had even returned to her door, kicked it and yelled from outside at her.  The woman said she would be contacting Crossroads about a Protection from Abuse order against Luzier.

According to the affidavit, at 6:14 p.m. officers were dispatched to a report of a domestic disturbance after Luzier had returned to a woman’s residence.

Police were told Luzier was outside the residence kicking the door and yelling. Upon arrival to the scene, officers made contact with Luzier, and she was placed into custody.

Luzier claimed she was on the phone with the woman when she hung up, so she went next door to her residence. Luzier denied kicking the door or trying to break it down.

Luzier told police she simply knocked and was trying to make contact with the woman because her (Luzier’s) daughter didn’t have anything to sleep in, let alone wear.

Police made contact with the woman who related Luzier had been back at her residence after being advised by police not to return again at approximately 2:28 p.m.

Luzier was outside kicking the door, yelling and causing a scene, she told police. The woman said she contacted Crossroads about a PFA.

A probation officer contacted police and was advised Luzier would be charged in both incidents. The PO said he intended to contact the jail and request a verbal detainer for her violation.

According to the affidavit, on Dec. 9 police had a previous report from the code enforcement officer about a blonde-haired two-year-old child walking in a sleeper outfit along Log Cabin Road.

The code enforcement officer was concerned for the child while she wasn’t with an adult. She was unable to get near the child who was near a large dog. She told police she worried the child would run out into traffic and be struck by a car.

When she returned to her office, she contacted police.  Her description matched the child being identified as belonging to Luzier.  Police took custody of the child after the Dec. 11 incident, and she was turned over to a family member.

CLEARFIELD – A Clearfield man accused of making methamphetamine in a Clearfield apartment pleaded guilty Thursday during sentencing court.

Larry Ray Rubly, Jr., 44, pleaded guilty to an ungraded felony count of possession of red phosphorous with intent to manufacture a controlled substance. He was sentenced by Judge Paul E. Cherry to 12 months less one day to two years less one day in the county jail and three years consecutive probation.

Prior to sentencing, his attorney, Joseph Ryan, asked Cherry for a county sentence. He pointed out that Rubly has credit for 14 months in jail already. He said Rubly has done well at the jail, and asked Cherry to give him a chance to prove he’s changed.

The charges stem from an incident Aug. 20, 2015 in Lawrence Township when a state parole officer checking on a parolee found multiple items used for the manufacture of methamphetamines.

In March, his co-defendant, Mandy Joann Rubly, 30, pleaded guilty to an ungraded felony count of criminal conspiracy/possession of red phosphorus with intent to manufacture a controlled substance. Cherry sentenced her to two years probation.   

According to the affidavit of probable cause, the state parole officer was conducting a visit on Larry Rubly at a Lawrence Park Village apartment. Mandy Rubly let the officers in and showed them where Larry Rubly was located.

When they saw him he was trying to stick himself with a needle in the leg area. As an officer handcuffed him, Larry Rubly discarded the needle.

It was while they were searching for the needle that they found several suspicious items. Based on the observations of the officers, they determined there was the possibility of an active meth lab in the apartment.

Police spoke to the renter of that unit and received permission to search it. The area was evacuated.

When Mandy Rubly spoke to police she denied any knowledge of Larry Rubly making methamphetamine products. Eventually she did admit to seeing a bottle with a brown liquid in it.

She said she confronted him about it and he told her he had urinated in the bottle. She did admit to purchasing decongestants but denied purchasing them for Larry Rubly to make methamphetamine.

Police found drain cleaner, lighter fluid, a coffee pot with residue, bottles with residue, packets of decongestants, muriatic acid, a grocery bag with used methamphetamine making materials, containers with residue, lithium batteries, plastic tubing and plastic baggies in the apartment.

CLEARFIELD – A Houtzdale man accused of stealing money from the cash register at a local dollar store waived the charges to court Wednesday at his preliminary hearing at the Clearfield County Jail.

Robert Stephen Gavlak II, 26, of Houtzdale has been charged by state police at Clearfield with theft by unlawful taking. His bail has been set at $25,000 monetary.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, on Dec. 22 an employee from Dollar General, Houtzdale, placed a call to 911, which was transferred to the state police barracks.

It was reported that the store had been “robbed,” and the suspect had fled on foot. Upon arrival to the scene, troopers viewed surveillance and interviewed witnesses.

The surveillance showed Gavlak in the store, and he was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with the hood up over his hat. He paid for an item at the check-out but didn’t leave the store.

Gavlak lingered and returned to the register. He purchased another small item and when the cash register was open, he allegedly dove across and began pulling cash from it.

The cashier was shown grabbing Gavlak’s arm with her left hand, while she was trying to close the cash register with her other hand. Gavlak stated to her twice, “Let me in there or I’ll stab you,” she told state police.

After a few seconds, the cashier let Gavlak go and he fled from the store. He got away with $205 in cash, according to the affidavit. The cashier and witnesses identified the suspect as Gavlak.

Gavlak was located around three hours later when he returned to his residence.  He was taken to the Clearfield barracks where he confessed to committing the crime.

During the interview, Gavlak told state police that he had a drug addiction and needed money. Immediately after committing the crime, he allegedly said he spent the money trying to buy drugs.

Gavlak also confessed to using drugs earlier in the day.
