Wanted on charges: Christopher Collins, 33, of Bench Avenue, Canton, is wanted on a warrant by state police on charges of terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. Police say Collins came out of his home in the Town and Country Trailer Park Monday and approached neighbors who were talking. He then reportedly started yelling at them and threw debris, hitting one of them. He then went in his house and came back out with a golf club, allegedly pointing it at a neighbor and making threats. Police said he then went back inside and came out with a rifle. The victims are identified by police as Robin Wright, 45, Charlene Iskey, 65, and Paul Craft, 63, all of Washington. The charges were filed at the office of District Judge David Mark.

Driver injured: Richard Moon Jr., 22, of 26 Beech St., Ellsworth, was slightly injured in a one-vehicle crash about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on Wilson Road near Route 519, North Strabane police said.

Moon, who was taken to Mon Valley Hospital for treatment of a head laceration, told police he was not aware he had to notify them of the crash. He will be cited for failure to drive at a safe speed and failure to immediately notify police.
