Man angry cops didn’t have arrest warrant for him is jailed

EBENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania man who became angry when told there were no outstanding warrants for his arrest has been jailed.

Cambria Township police say 40-year-old Mervin Sollenberger arrived at the Cambria County jail late Tuesday to surrender on outstanding arrest warrants. But police told him there were no warrants for his arrest.

WJAC-TV (http://bit.ly/2f4nuAJ ) reports that’s when the Duncansville man became enraged, threatening to assault the jail’s guards and kicking a steel cage door at the lockup.

Sollenberger has been charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. He remained jailed Thursday after failing to post 10 percent of his $20,000 bail.

What has always angered me over the years is newspapers not doing any follow up, I remember in one small town 102 people arrested a few days before Christmas naming all the people ruining many lives and reputations to find out later the evidence was trumped up by a criminal just trying to get a lesser sentence never printed in the newspaper some were dismissed many others went to jail on false charges or why people run from police in crazy car chases, could it be police have beaten them before, they never ask why did you run? Newspapers love headlines but follow up stories never make the paper or when found not guilty ever make the paper. something happened to this man, they should tell the story after asking why he was so mad, his name will be printed in the local paper no matter the circumstances but that does not seem to matter!
