Jamestown – The Jamestown Police Department’s K9 Unit observed Steven D. Schrecengost, aged 28, riding a bicycle through residential backyards, and it was discovered that he had multiple active warrants within the city. Upon tracing his whereabouts to a residence, officers encountered Lisa M. Tibbetts, aged 47, who initially denied Schrecengost’s presence. Subsequently, with permission from the homeowner to enter the house, Tibbetts obstructed the officers’ entry and was subsequently arrested for obstructing governmental administration.
A subsequent search of the residence led to the discovery of Schrecengost in a bedroom, where he was attempting to conceal himself. He was arrested without further incident. Tibbetts was booked on charges of obstructing governmental administration and released with an appearance ticket, while Schrecengost faces additional charges and is currently held pending arraignment.
