Columbia Borough PD appeals to public to help provide personal protective equipment for its officers

A Lancaster County police department is appealing to the public for help in providing its officers with personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Columbia Borough Police Department said Tuesday it is reaching out to the community for help in protecting its officers. The department said it is specifically in need of N-95 surgical masks, rubber gloves, and hand sanitizer for its officers.

"If you wish to donate or provide information on how to obtain these needed supplies, please call the Police Department at 717-684-7735," the announcement said. "The N-95 respirators are especially important for the protection of our officers."

Columbia man charged with robbing 2 Turkey Hills made over 100 calls from prison in effort to lie to court: police

Timothy D. Jenkins
A Columbia man charged in January for robbing two Turkey Hills, 42 minutes apart on Jan. 5, sporting a knife in one robbery and wearing a wig in another, has been charged with perjury and attempt to intimidate a witness, according to new charges filed by the Columbia Borough Police.  
Timothy Jenkins, 52, made more than 100 phone calls to a woman that helped police in the robbery investigation, "demanding that she not testify against him during court proceedings," according to the affidavit of probable cause.  
Jenkins, who made all of these phone calls from Lancaster County Prison, also demanded that the woman tell investigators and the court that he was with her when these robberies happened, police said.
