INDIANA BOROUGH POLICE
An Indiana man was charged with making false reports to police concerning a hit-and-run accident on January 14th.
Indiana Borough police officers were called out at 8:39 PM to the accident scene in the 300 block of South 4th street. Police discovered that a parked Lincoln sedan was hit by a passing vehicle that fled the scene. A few days later, the offending vehicle was found later on and police found it was registered to Taylor Sichko of Indiana. When police interviewed him, he tried to implicate someone else as the driver of his vehicle when the accident happened.
On top of the false reports charge, Sichko also faces a charge related to permitting violations with the vehicle code.
