Suspects sought victim over stolen marijuana By Marcia MooreThe Daily Item The chase went from Route 15 to Route 1011, through West Milton and into New Columbia, where the suspects crashed into a tree near the Short Stop Market at the intersection of Routes 15 and 1008.
Sometime around 12:30 a.m., Fred Loreman, 43, was listening to a police scanner inside his house near the Short Stop when he heard a vehicle was being pursued in his neighborhood. “My ears perked up,” Loreman said. He stuck his head outside the kitchen door and saw a fast-moving vehicle traveling north on Old Route 15 with police cars in close pursuit. “Thank God the cops were behind him with lights and sirens because that guy was really moving,” he said. Loreman said it appeared the suspect made a wrong turn and crashed into a tree behind the convenient store next door. “I was scared,” he said. “I thought he was going to hit my house. I’ve got two young kids and they were asleep.” “There were dozens of police in the area, swarming like bees,” Loreman said, describing the action as like “watching an episode of ‘Cops’” on television. The three suspects got out of the vehicle and ran through a wooded area and into the parking lot of White Deer Commons housing complex, where they were seen getting into two separate vehicles, the complaint said. Cannie and Walker were nabbed inside a 2001 Cadillac SLS bearing a Delaware registration. Wells was seen fleeing in a 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass with a Pennsylvania registration and was later stopped and taken into custody, the complaint said. Cannie, Walker and Wells were each arraigned on criminal homicide, criminal conspiracy, burglary, possessing instruments of a crime, aggravated assault and criminal trespass before District Judge Edward Mihalik Jr. late Tuesday afternoon. All three are being held without bail at Snyder County Jail pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 22. Sholley lauded the police for having the suspects in custody within about an hour of the shooting. State police at Selinsgrove were assisted by state police at Milton and Stonington; borough police from Lewisburg, Watsontown, Shamokin Dam, Northumberland and Mifflinburg; Sunbury city police; and police from East Buffalo and Point townships.
