Theft and Access Device Alteration Charges Filed in Mansfield
MANSFIELD, Pa. — Nickolai Vincent Kipp, a 21‑year‑old resident of Mansfield, was arrested on October 20, 2026 and charged with theft and access‑device alteration offenses arising from an incident on October 18, 2026.
The criminal docket, filed under number MJ-04303-CR-0000128-2026 in the Magisterial District Court 04‑3‑03, lists two counts: (1) 18 Pa.C.S. § 4106(a)(2) – public, make, see, etc., access device altered, etc.; and (2) 18 Pa.C.S. § 3921(a) – theft by unlawful taking of movable property. Both offenses are classified as M1 (misdemeanor) violations.
Arresting officers from the Mansfield Police Service, including Officer Darren A. Hall, took Kipp into custody on the day of the arrest. He was fingerprinted on October 21, 2026 (MDJS 1200) and placed in the Tioga County Prison County Jail because he was unable to post bail.
The court set bail at $10,000.00, which Kipp could not post, resulting in his confinement beginning October 20, 2026. A preliminary arraignment is scheduled for the same day at 3:10 p.m., and a preliminary hearing is set for November 4, 2026 at 10:15 a.m., both before Magisterial District Judge Tiffany Cummings.
The Tioga County District Attorney’s Office, located at the Tioga County Courthouse, 118 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA 16901, is prosecuting the case. Kipp has not requested a public defender, and no counsel has been entered on the record at this time.
The case remains active and is listed as “Awaiting Preliminary Hearing” and “Awaiting Preliminary Arraignment.” Kipp is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
