CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A knock on the door Thursday morning meant a trip to a district justice's office for at least 18 people who had outstanding warrants in Franklin County.
A multi-agency force fanned out across the county at 6 a.m. to round up people who had bench warrants or outstanding criminal warrants issued during the past two years, according to Pennsylvania State Trooper Edward Asbury.
State troopers, Franklin County Sheriff's deputies and police from Chambersburg, Waynesboro and Greencastle rounded up seven people from Chambersburg, five people from the Waynesboro area, and one each from St. Thomas, Fayetteville, South Mountain and Roxbury, police said. A South Carolina man and a person whose address was unknown also were taken into custody, police said.
The offenses for which they were wanted ranged from county court bench warrants for nonsupport, failure to pay fines and failure to obey a jury summons to terroristic threats, a parole violation and four counts of forgery.
