SMETHPORT — A Bradford man pleaded guilty Thursday in McKean County Court to allegations that he tried to file an insurance claim for a crash that happened before he had insurance.

Christopher Yohe, 27, pleaded guilty to charges of criminal attempted theft by deception and criminal solicitation-false/fraudulent/incomplete insurance claim. According to Jerome Orie, a lawyer with the Attorney General’s office, around 11:30 a.m. Feb. 9, Yohe was in two-vehicle accident; he did not have insurance, so he obtained insurance later that day and asked the other motorist to lie about the date of the crash. He also provided false information to Safe Auto insurance company, which denied the $6,000 claim. Yohe will be sentenced Jan. 4.

Also in court, Luke Wolfe, 19, of Kane, pleaded guilty to a charge of access device fraud. Between July 8-14, Wolfe took $650 from someone, said Assistant District Attorney Ashley Shade. He will be sentenced Jan. 4.

Karlie A. Ryan, 22, of Oil City, pleaded guilty to charges in two cases. In one case, she’s charged with theft of leased property, and in the second she’s charged with smelling/inhaling toxic releasing substances. Shade said that between March 9 and July 25, Ryan obtained a mattress set, television and sectional furniture worth $1,693.03 that she leased from the House of Television, and she dealt with the items as if they were her own; then, on Dec. 8, Ryan inhaled fumes from an aerosol air duster. She will be sentenced Jan. 4.

James L. Nitsos, 31, of Bradford, pleaded guilty to one charge of retail theft. Assistant District Attorney Jerry Grill said that on June 11, Nitsos took $192.97 in merchandise from Walmart in Foster Brook including Bluetooth speakers, an Mi Box and a digital thermometer. Nitsos will serve 18 months of probation.

Victoria Swanson, 19, of Niagara Falls, N.Y., had a theft case against her dismissed under Rule 586, court records indicate. Rule 586 states an offense that is not committed for force or violence may be dismissed if the public interest is not harmed, if the Commonwealth attorney agrees, if there is an agreement that satisfaction be made to the aggrieved party and if there is an agreement on who is to pay any costs.
