STEWARTSTOWN, Pa. (WGAL) — An arrest was made about a year later after a suspect broke into a vehicle at a York County church, according to the Southern Regional Police Department.
In December 2024, police said Virgil Pauling broke the window of a vehicle and stole a church visitor’s purse in the parking lot of Stewartstown United Methodist Church on South Main Street.
Pauling, of Stewartstown, fled the scene, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to police.
Investigators said Pauling was contacted in November to turn himself in for the warrant.
In response, Pauling cursed out the officer and said, “Come get me,” according to police. Pauling lied and told them that he was in New York City.
Arrest made During the investigation, police said Pauling was determined to be staying in Winnsboro, South Carolina. He was taken into custody and will be transported back to Pennsylvania for his numerous warrants in the state, including some in Maryland.
The Southern Regional Police Department in York County said the Baltimore County Police Department and the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina assisted in the investigation and arrest.
