County Crime Roundup

• Let's say the cops are coming to raid your house and you need to quickly hide your cocaine. Where should you put it? Your kid's lunchbox, duh! And let's not forget an Elmo backpack is also an option...that will make international news.
• A Belle Vernon man was arrested on child pornography charges...
• ...which makes the fact that a Connellsville man was charged with robbery a relief.
• The state Ethics Commission decided two Bullskin Township supervisors and one former supervisor violated the state's ethics act by setting their own monthly vehicle allowances in 2012. Wait, what? We have an Ethics Commission, and it's only just now paying attention to Fayette County? Meanwhile, the township solicitor calls the commission's findings "inaccurate."
• Some dudes stole $600,000 worth of sheet metal.
• A Republic man was found to be in possession of heroin, marijuana, prescription drugs, stolen handguns, a bulletproof vest, and more. Obviously, he's just preparing for the apocalypse...possibly thanks to drug-induced paranoia.
• A man was charged after brutally attacking his ex-girlfriend, which might help to explain why she's his ex-girlfriend.
• There was a shooting in South Union Township.
• A Uniontown man was charged after assaulting a woman and firing a semiautomatic weapon in a house with children. So basically, just another day in the Nam.
• A Brownsville student has been "disciplined" for making a hit list. The student's "status for the future is undetermined." Let me make this easy for you--throw his ass out of school and charge him with a crime. Administrators informed the parents of students whose names were on the list but not all parents in the school. Because, you know, parents don't want to be informed when their kids are going to school with potential murderers. They can just find out on Facebook.
• Police are looking for the driver of a Chevrolet sedan who rammed into another vehicle in a road-rage incident Wednesday.
• A Brownsville man was charged in a string of armed robberies.
