Mount Jewett man arraigned for alleged trailer theft
A Mount Jewett man was arraigned Tuesday for allegations that he took a camper trailer that was left along a Sergeant Township road with a flat tire.
Thomas Kinner Jr., 40, of 14334 Wilcox Road, is charged with theft and receiving stolen property, third-degree felonies; criminal mischief, a first-degree misdemeanor; possession of methamphetamine and of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanors; criminal mischief, a third-degree misdemeanor; and three summary offenses.
According to the criminal complaint, on Monday, state police were dispatched to a theft along Route 146 in Sergeant Township. The owner of a camper trailer told police that the trailer had a flat, so she left it along the road to get a spare tire. When she returned for it, the trailer was gone.
In that area, someone had spray painted profanity on the road as well, the complaint read. On Tuesday, police received a tip of marks in the road on Red Mill Road and up a logging road that looked like a vehicle missing a tire. A state trooper followed the marks and came upon Kinner’s truck pulling the trailer. When Kinner was placed under arrest, he was found to be in possession of methamphetamine, the complaint read.
The trailer was damaged from the trip.
Kinner was arraigned by District Judge Dom Cercone and released on $10,000 unsecured bail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on June 1 before District Judge Bill Todd.

According to the criminal complaint, just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Kane Borough Police were dispatched to a fight in the parking lot at 130 Greeves St. Upon arrival, an officer saw Loadholt chasing a woman through the parking lot while he was holding a knife. When Loadholt saw the officer, he quickly put the knife in his pocket. The officer drew his taser, ordered both people to the ground and told Loadholt to drop the knife. Loadholt dropped the knife, but refused the officer’s commands until a second officer arrived on the scene and was able to assist.
Throughout the altercation, Loadholt was yelling at the woman that would “kill her and put her in a body bag,” the criminal complaint stated.
Loadholt was arraigned before District Judge Dom Cercone and remanded to jail in lieu of $20,000 bail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 27 before District Judge David Engman in Kane.
