Sean Conner, 34, of Newtown, waived a hearing, May 2, before Magisterial District Judge Lee Hunter on the charges of unauthorized use of a vehicle and accidents involving damage to an unattended vehicle. The charges stem from an incident Jan. 17.
According to the affidavit, Newtown Officer Chris Barksdale said the owner of Larry Robinson and Son Builders reported Conner, who was an employee of Robinson’s at the time, failed to return Robinson’s 2005 Ford 350 stake body truck.
After numerous attempts to contact Conner, Robinson reported the truck stolen.
Haverford Police notified Barksdale when they received a complaint from a township resident who said Conner came to their home in the stolen truck and was requesting money from a job that Conner worked on for Robinson.
Three hours later, Conner called Robinson and said he left the truck on Ridgefield Road and the keys were on the windshield. Robinson located the truck and discovered it had been damaged. The damage was estimated at $1,586.
Conner is scheduled for a May 29 arraignment in Common Pleas Court.
