Police say truck found in Chesterfield was clue FRAZER, Pa. (AP) A Virginian accused of stealing about $750,000 in goods from Chester County homes and businesses over the past three years has been arrested on burglary and other charges. Michael P. Rouleau, 24, of Staunton, was held at the Chester County Prison Farm under $820,000 bail after his arraignment Wednesday on 73 counts of burglary and related crimes, officials said. Police said Rouleau specialized in stealing valuables that could be easily fenced, such as jewelry, precious metals, cash, tools and auto inspection stickers.

Erik DenBraven, 25, of Frazer, who officials described as Rouleau's fence, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with 17 counts of receiving stolen property. An arrest warrant also has been issued for a "wanderer" from Delaware County who police believe was Rouleau's accomplice during some of the break-ins, according to East Whiteland Police Chief Robert Redzig. Police said a stolen truck recovered in Chesterfield County, gave them a break in the 18-month probe. The truck was traced to a repair shop in East Whiteland, police said. Rouleau had been extradited from Virginia in March.

He had pleaded guilty there to two counts of breaking and entering and had been sentenced to two consecutive five-to-10 year prison terms, police said. son of Steve and Barbara Cawdemonstrates the technique Smith Mountain Lake i in Southwest slain store Gray, called the victim "a fine person who deserved a lot of credit for raising a large family," the two youngest of whom lived with her. Navy nurse is acquitted in Fairfax FAIRFAX (AP) A Navy nurse accused of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly striking and killing a teen-ager with her car while driving when drunk was acquitted yesterday by a Circuit Court jury. The jury returned a not-guilty verdict after two days of deliberating the charge against Lt. Mary Ann Cronin.

Evidence introduced at the trial showed the 34-year-old nurse had a blood-alcohol level of 0.14 percent when tested by police after her vehicle struck John Svec on May 13. Under state law, a driver i is considered intoxicated when the level reaches 0.1 percent. Svec, 16, was struck when he and three friends were walking along the shoulder of Little River Turnpike in Annandale late at night. Svec died of his injuries three days later. Cronin still faces a hearing 21 on a charge of driving while intoxicated, according to Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jack Robbins.

Rouleau was subsequently charged in East Whiteland with one count each of burglary and auto theft, stemming from the recovered truck. He had been held in the Chester County prison in lieu of $30,000 bail.
