Two Face Charges In July 22 'Robbery' Of Ice Cream Shop In Warsaw
Charges were filed last week against two men who allegedly staged a robbery July 22 at a Warsaw ice cream shop. Matthew Neal Sims, 22, of 2286 Laurien Court, Warsaw, and Christopher Michael Harmon, 20, of 2703 Wayside Court, Warsaw, are each charged with one count of theft, a Class D felony.The two allegedly took about $7,400 from Ritter's Frozen Custard on U.S.30E. Sims was working at Ritter's the night of the alleged robbery and told police an unknown man was waiting outside the door when he left the store.The alleged robber was said to have pushed Sims back inside, where he was made to turn off the store's alarm system and open the safe. A detective interviewed Sims after the alleged robbery and said the story was not believable, partly because some of the information changed between the time the 911 call was made and the time police talked to Sims at the scene.
Syracuse OKs $5,000 For Storm Cleanup
SYRACUSE - Tree stumps in the public right-of-way will soon be no more. The Syracuse town council Tuesday approved $6,000 in appropriations for the removal of stumps and damaged limbs and trees.The damage was a result of a recent storm. A local contractor will do the trimming and removal.The stumps will be removed in order of priority.Property owners who have tree problems on their property must take care of their own, Town Manager Matt Vigneault said. The contractor is charging the city $75 per stump.Many of the trees, Vigneault said, were 2 or 3 feet in diameter. "We felt that it was a pretty good price for that size of trees," he said. The council will seek federal grants to replace the trees. "I feel that we're on the right track," Vigneault said. The council discussed the proposed budget and revenue scheme.
