Matthew Joseph Roman
Docket: MJ‑02103‑TR‑0000488‑2026
Charge: Operating a vehicle without an inspection sticker
Offense Date: 03/24/2026

Matthew chose the bold strategy of driving inspection‑free. Unsurprisingly, the police disagreed.
Henry Liles
Docket: MJ‑02103‑TR‑0000461‑2026
Charge: Stop sign violation
Offense Date: 03/13/2026
Agency: West Hempfield Township Police

🍺 Public Drunkenness & Inconvenient Communication
