Theft charges withdrawn
Old Lycoming Township police withdrew charges of theft by deception and receiving stolen property last week against Thomas S. Gonzalez after the 51-year-old man paid full restitution to the victim, according to court records.
Police charged the man in September after he allegedly failed to meet his end of a bargain in which he took $1,200 from Judith Steinbacher in late May to install a generator at her home along Deckman Hollow Road.
However, Gonzalez, of 1016 Dewey Ave., never did the work, police alleged in court papers.
