Suspect also allegedly stole truck in Pa.

From Staff Reports Cumberland Times-News

CUMBERLAND — A Uniontown, Pa., man was arrested Sunday morning shortly after he allegedly stole a vehicle from the Sheetz parking lot at Naves Crossroad. The suspect also reportedly stole a truck in Pennsylvania that he abandoned near Rocky Gap Road.

Cumberland Police responded to a vehicle theft complaint at the Sheetz location on Bedford Road at about 10 a.m. — at about the same time a witness was following the suspected stolen vehicle on Interstate 68 near the Harrison Street ramp to the interstate.

City police officers located the vehicle on westbound I-68 near Kelly Road where they took 33-year-old Jason Eric Bevans into custody without incident.

Charged with theft up to $10,000, motor vehicle theft, unauthorized use of a vehicle and disorderly conduct, Bevans remained jailed Monday on $45,000 bond at the Allegany County Detention Center, pending bail review in district court.

The victim at the Sheetz store told police that the vehicle began backing up as she approached it. The suspect then drove away toward the interstate.

Bevans is believed to have stolen a Toyota truck in Pennsylvania that he later abandoned near Rocky Gap Road prior to the incident at the Sheetz lot.

    He doesn’t live in Maryland’s Sixth Congressional District. Neither does the incumbent.
    But what makes Republican Dan Bongino’s run for the 6th district U.S. House seat interesting is that unlike Democratic Rep. John Delaney, who lives just outside the district in Potomac, Bongino lives almost 40 miles away from the closest point to the district, all the way in Anne Arundel County.
