Police chase ends on Manor Street

A police chase through East and West Hempfield this afternoon ended near Fifteenth and Manor Streets in Columbia when an East Hempfield police cruiser blocked the path of the suspect's vehicle. The suspect then fled on foot but was quickly apprehended by police at about 4:30 p.m. The suspect has been identified as Joshua Oscar Welsh, 39, of Wrightsville, who fled the scene after attempting to rob Integrity Bank on Centerville Road. Seven vehicles from the three jurisdictions were involved in the pursuit.

 An East Hempfield officer documents damage to the side of a cruiser where the suspect's car collided.

Dog Wardens/Police to Conduct License, Rabies Compliance Checks

The State Dog Wardens and the Columbia Borough Police will   be conducting compliance checks during the Month of April.   Officers will canvass homes to ensure that dogs have a current license and rabies vaccination.

The Police as well as the State Dept. of Agriculture    remind dog owners that a license is one of the best ways to ensure a lost dog is returned home safely.    Under PA law, all dogs three months or older must be licensed by January 1 of each year.  Violators can be cited with a maximum fine of $300 per violation plus court costs.

Licenses may be purchased through Treasurer Ebersole at 150 N. Queen St, Ste 122, Lancaster or by calling 717-299-8222. For more information, visitwww.licenseyourdogPA.com or call 717-787-3062.

Park signs - the rest of the story

There are three more signs in Locust Street Park - in addition to the one pictured in yesterday's post. Two are similar to the sign shown previously, and one contains slightly different wording. These photos are from a previous blog post that can be found here:
