On March 28 at 3:51 a.m., Walmart surveillance showed the same unknown men from the previous thefts approaching the side of the store. Both men are seen on video, while the store was closed, cutting a hole in a fence to obtain two kayaks in a locked garden center. The two males both took a kayak and pulled it through the hole in the fence. In all three incidents, the suspects walked to the Kenwood section with unpaid merchandise.

No Selling Coquito for You LCB Authorities Say to Croydon Deli Owner, Employee

Published

on

The owner and an employee of the Croydon based State Road Deli Market have been charged for allegedly selling Coquito to customers.

According to state authorities, on Dec 23, 2025, a web complaint was received reporting the State Road Deli Market, located at 2518 State Road, Croydon posted on their Meta Page that they were taking orders for Coquito -coconut-based rum alcoholic beverage- for the holidays.

Investigators from the the state’s Liquor Control Board on Dec. 29, 2025, contacted the tipster who reported that they saw multiple Facebook posts from the premises advertising sales of homemade Coquito. Continued on this date, an open source query yielded the premises’ Facebook page displaying a post with a picture of a bottle of Coquito, and stated that they were taking orders with prices of  $8.00 for virgin (non-alcoholic) and $12.00 with alcohol.

(The ” Coquito”  posts have since been removed – a review of the deli’s Meta page.)

Investigators on Dec. 30, 2025, reviewed state data that showed the premises was not licensed by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB). Additionally, PLCB certification confirmed that the premises did not have any authority to sell alcoholic beverages within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (CWOPA).

The clerk (later Identified as Effie Mae McMahon) confirmed that the bottle contained alcohol as written on the label. Marrow handed McMahon $13.00, and was provided ¢.28 in change, and the sale was rung up.

The bottle was secured, and later placed into evidence with a sample sent for laboratory testing. Continued on this date, a search of PA State Department records identified that the premises’ owner was Wilfredo M. Sanchez. A further open source search identified Wilfredo Miguel Sanchez-Caparachin and McMahon as workers at the premises. A further query of Bureau databases disclosed that neither Sanchez-Caparachin nor McMahon are registered and/or authorized by the PLCB to sell liquor within the CWOPA, officers wrote in court papers.

The investigators reentered the deli, identified themselves to McMahon. McMahon was identified after presenting their Pennsylvania driver’s license as being (20) years old.

Authorities seized the remaining bottle of Coquito from the cooler and both bottles were secured, and later placed into evidence with samples sent for laboratory testing. Ofc. Marrow then recovered the currency used  to make the purchase from the register. Marrow requested that McMahon contact Sanchez-Caparachin to respond to the premises.

While awaiting Sanchez-Caparachin, McMahon was given Non-Custodial rights and agreed to answer questions, court papers show.

McMahon, according to the probable cause, admitted that they did possess and sell Coquito a rum based alcoholic beverage to Marrow on the above listed dates. McMahon further stated that they have been employed at the premises for over five (5) years and continued working under the new owner Sanchez-Caparachin since May 2023, McMahon also admitted that they assisted Sanchez-Caparachin in making the Coquito under Sanchez-Caparachin’s direction.

Sanchez-Caparachin was given Non-Custodial rights, and agreed to answer questions. Sanchez=Caparachin stated that they are the registered owner of the premises since May 2023 and are the sole operator with their only employee being McMahon.

the rum into Pennsylvania in order to make Coquito and sell it at the premises. Sanchez-Caparachin further admitted that since May 2023 they have made and sold about fifty (50) bottles of Coquito and that they do not have a valid license to sell liquor within the state of Pennsylvania.

On Feb.9, 2026, PLCB certification confirmed that McMahon, Sanchez-Caparachin and/or the premises did not have authority to sell or dispense alcoholic beverages in the CWOPA from Jan. 1, 2025 through Jan. 21, 2026, according to court records.

On Feb. 21, 2026 analysis from the Pennsylvania State Police Laboratory confirmed that all samples submitted contained alcohol, the criminal complaint says.

Bucks County Sheriff Charges Levittown Woman with Hindering Apprehension of Boyfriend

Published

on

A 50-year-old woman from Levittown has been charged by Bucks County Sheriff Deputies of multiple counts of hindering the apprehension of her boyfriend who had an active arrest warrant and is also wanted for probation violations, authorities say.

According to the criminal complaint filed by Bucks County Sheriff Deputies, early on Feb. 6,  deputies  assigned to the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Service Unit, responded to the SpringMill Suites at 200 N. Buckstown Rd. in  Langhorne seeking to take William Sullivan in on his five active bench warrants; four probation violation warrants and one domestic relations warrant-. While checking the area for a vehicle known to be associated with Sullivan, it was discovered parked outside of the hotel. The vehicle, a gray Volkswagen Jetta bearing PA registration MSZ***  registered to Kelly Fitzgerald, was parked near the front door of the hotel. Sullivan is the known boyfriend of Fitzgerald.

Deputies entered the lobby of the hotel to speak with management to inquire if they have seen Sullivan. While in the lobby, Deputies located Fitzgerald near her vehicle and began to speak to her about Sullivan.

Fitzgerald, according to authorities was verbally uncooperative and continued to claim she was being harassed regarding Sullivan’s whereabouts. Fitzgerald repeatedly said she did not know the his whereabouts and had not seen him in a while. At this point, Fitzgerald welcomed deputies to search her room (113) for Sullivan, which turned out to be negative. Because Fitzgerald was causing a scene in the hotel lobby, Deputies left the lobby and waited in an adjacent parking lot and watched Fitzgerald drive away. Computer checks revealed Fitzgerald to have a suspended PA Driver’s License.

At 8:30 a.m. on the same date, deputies returned to the hotel to conduct further follow up interviews with hotel staff on Sullivan’s whereabouts.. At this point it was learned that when Deputies searched room 113, Fitzgerald was already checked out of it and she was already moved into room #212 Deputies then approached room #212 and eventually arrested Sullivan when he surrendered exiting the room. Receipts from the hotel confirmed Fitzgerald rented room 212 and when Sullivan was searched, incident to arrest, the room key was found in his pocket, the probable cause alleges.

Deputies noted in court papers they had been attempting to locate Sullivan and had numerous contacts with Fitzgerald where she was advised of his active warrants and continued to inform them  she did not know his whereabouts.

Fitzgerald is being charged by mail summons and is scheduled for March 26 hearing before District Judge Charles D. Jonas. She currently has no attorney of record, according to online court records.

Sullivan is scheduled for probation violation hearings next month and currently remains a guest at Bucks County Correctional Facility, according to online public records.
