Morgan has also been charged with stealing several guns from his stepfather.
Police say the apprehension of Morgan was the result of a concerted investigation by Coudersport-based State Police, Galeton Borough Police, Westfield Borough Police, District Attorney Andy Watson, and the Troop F-Forensic Services Unit.
Good! But I’m wondering why this gets posted on FB when a food service worker from the Galeton School can break-in to her neighbors house, steal prescription drugs, and NOTHING ever hits a paper or CoudyNews!!! And to top it all off, she gets to “RETIRE” from her position! This should be made public. It’s a sad day when you can’t even trust your own neighbor!
Brenda, I can assure you that CoudyNews will never exclude an article for any reason other than lack of information. If the police issued a news release, then we would have published it.
With that said, are you possibly referring to this: http://coudynews.com/news/galeton-woman-charged-with-taking-and-selling-mans-prescriptions/
Should check your facts people. That individuals story did appear on *another news source* when it happened and she was not allowed to retire. she was terminated from the school position. And no admin that was not the case she was referring to. it was a burglary investigated by galeton borough and the arrest made by the same.
*Edited for obvious reasons.
