From staff reports
A resident of Sugar Valley Lodge in Sugarcreek is facing charges for trying to break into the medicine room and the rooms of other residents at the assisted living facility.
Sugarcreek Borough police said Timothy Pavlin, 53, used a pair of scissors to try to get inside the medicine room last Thursday, according to staff members.
Staff believed Pavlin’s intent was to “steal medication and money,” police said.
Then on Sunday, staff also reported that Pavlin was “trying to gain access to other residence rooms”, police said.
Pavlin is facing two felony counts of burglary — overnight accommodations, person present, and one felony count of criminal trespass — break into structure. He is also facing misdemeanor counts of theft by unlawful taking — movable property and possessing an instrument of crime with intent.
Pavlin was arraigned Monday and placed in the Venango County jail with bail denied due to his now being homeless, and his preliminary is scheduled Jan. 11 in Central Court.
