SMETHPORT — An East Smethport man pleaded guilty Thursday in McKean County Court to allegations that he trespassed and intentionally struck another vehicle with his vehicle.

Austin J. Tankersley, 27, entered the guilty plea to charges of criminal trespass, DUI-controlled substance, criminal mischief and a summary charge. According to Assistant District Attorney Ashley Shade, on Sept. 26, in Eldred, Tankersley entered a residence by pushing past the resident. After he left he drove a vehicle, despite having a suspended license and having metabolites in his system for drugs including methamphetamine and marijuana; he intentionally struck the victim’s vehicle with his vehicle, causing $3,041.50 in damage, then left and crashed the vehicle over an embankment. He will be sentenced June 25.

Also in court, Michael A. Landries, 22, of Kane, pleaded no contest to a charge of indecent assault of a person less than 16 years of age. On April 11, 2020, in Kane, when Landries was 21 years old, he had indecent contact with a 15-year-old, Shade explained. According to Attorney Sarah Dufresne, who represents Landries, the no contest plea was offered because Landries does not remember the incident. Landries will undergo a sexually violent predator evaluation, and his sentencing date will be scheduled at a later date.

Karlie A. Ryan, 25, of Bradford, pleaded guilty to a charge of flight to avoid apprehension. According to Shade, on April 12, Ryan escaped a drug and alcohol recovery center in Erie, and a felony warrant was issued for her arrest; she came to Bradford, where on April 13 she fled from police officers on foot. Ryan will be sentenced May 27.
