DUBOIS – A DuBois man is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance following a traffic accident.

According to an affidavit of probable cause filed with District Judge Patrick Ford’s office April 28, David A. Spuck, 61, 182 Spuck Rd., DuBois, is charged by the Sandy Township police with DUI, resisting arrest, careless driving, disorderly conduct and one summary traffic charge following a traffic accident April 19.

According to the affidavit, officers were called to a traffic accident on Hungry Hollow Road near Salada Road, where the vehicle was on its side and the driver was unable to get out.

As officers arrived, they saw the driver, later identified as Spuck, climbing through the driver’s side window, jumping off the truck and landing on the ground on his left side.

The officers attempted to assist Spuck, and told him to stay sitting on the ground until an ambulance arrived, but Spuck got to his feet, stumbled and fell back to the ground. He attempted to get up a second time, fell against his truck and then stumbled toward the patrol car.

The officers told Spuck to stay near the rear of the patrol vehicle, but Spuck appeared to be highly intoxicated, with blood-shot eyes and slurred speech. Spuck also allegedly argued with the officers and refused to listen to their commands.

The officers attempted to handcuff Spuck in order to secure him inside the vehicle, but he refused to comply and began to swear at the officers and allegedly began to flail his arms around.

The officers were able to subdue Spuck and placed him inside the vehicle. When the ambulance arrived, Spuck allegedly refused treatment.

Spuck was taken to Penn Highlands DuBois and allegedly consented to blood-alcohol testing; however, Spuck began to yell loudly at the phlebotomist.

A second phlebotomist was called to perform the blood-draw, but Spuck continued to act aggressively and the officers constituted Spuck’s actions as a refusal of the blood draw.

According to the affidavit, police were called to the Luther Avenue home May 3, for a fight. When the officers arrived, they spoke to Dalton Dickey, who was bleeding from the nose.

CLEARFIELD – Two men are accused of stealing a trailer.

According to affidavits of probable cause filed with District Judge Patrick Ford’s office May 2, Robert James Mallory, 31, 194 Mallory Dr., Rossiter, and Brian L. Schaffer, 43, 173 Luthersburg-Rockton Rd,, Luthersburg, are charged by the Sandy Township police with theft by unlawful taking, criminal conspiracy and receiving stolen property.

According to the affidavits, on April 30, officers received a report of a stolen, 16-foot, enclosed tandem trailer, which contained numerous items.

The officers spoke with the victim who said his trailer was parked at a construction site at the end of Industrial Drive. He told police there was about $10,000 in various tools inside the trailer and the trailer itself was worth about $3,200.

The officers then obtained security video from Wal-Mart, which showed a sliver Chevrolet truck with a cap on the back driving back and forth toward the area several times. At about 1:49 a.m., the video shows the same truck pulling the trailer and driving away from the construction site.

On May 1, the officers received notification that the Punxsutawney-based state police had located the missing trailer, parked in a driveway along Route 410 in Punxsutawney. State troopers told police they had received a call from a resident saying the trailer was parked on their property.

The officers spoke to the witness, who said a man had stopped at his house and asked his girlfriend if he could park a trailer on her property. The witness said the man, later identified as Robert Mallory, told them the trailer belonged to a friend named Brian Schaffer.

The witness said he became suspicious later that day, when Mallory returned to his house on a four-wheeler. Moments later, a red truck came to the house and started loading tools from inside the trailer into the bed of the pick-up truck.

Officers then went to an address where Mallory was believed to be staying. Upon arrival the officers saw a sliver Chevrolet truck with a cap, which matched the vehicle in the video. The truck was parked beside a red pick-up truck. The officers determined the sliver truck belonged to Schaffer. Schaffer then came out of the house and the officers spoke to him about the theft.

Schaffer allegedly told police that he did take the trailer after Mallory told him it belonged to a family member and that he was just moving it from the job site.

The officer then spoke to the home owner, who allegedly told them Mallory asked to borrow her truck to pick up the tools. She said the tools were unloaded and placed in a storage building on her property. She also said Mallory was hiding inside her house.

The officers searched the house and found Mallory hiding in a small space under the floorboards. Police also located numerous items, which had been stolen from the trailer in a shed at the rear of the property.

The officers then spoke to Mallory, who allegedly admitted to taking the trailer and leaving it at the witness’ house, then loading some of the tools into the red truck.

The officers spoke to Schaffer, who allegedly told police that Mallory had asked him to move a trailer for his uncle. Schaffer allegedly told police that he and Mallory went to the site, hooked onto the trailer and drove it to Helvetia, then went to sleep. Schaffer said when he woke up the trailer and Mallory were both gone and he hadn’t seen Mallory since.
