Clarion Woman Accused of Stealing Zip Lock Bags, Frozen Beef from Employer

CLARION TWP., Pa. (EYT) — A local woman is facing a theft charge after allegedly stealing ziplock bags, frozen beef, and juice from a residence where she was working.

Court documents indicate the Clarion-based State Police filed criminal charges against 61-year-old Linda A. Ervington, of Clarion.

According to a criminal complaint, around 3:03 p.m. Trooper Cyphert, of the Clarion-based State Police, was dispatched to a residence on U.S. 322 in Clarion Township for a report of a theft.

According to the complaint, a known victim reported that she arrived home and noticed zip lock freezer bags protruding from a bag belonging to Linda A. Ervington, who was at the residence working for a local business. The victim recognized the bags, searched the rest of the bag, and found a one pound pack of frozen ground beef and two bottles of juice that also appeared to have been taken from her kitchen.

The victim confronted Ervington about the items, and Ervington allegedly admitted to taking them, according to the complaint.

The victim then kicked Ervington out of her home and contacted the state police and the business Ervington was working for, the complaint states.

The complaint notes Ervington has since been terminated from her job with the business.

One count of second-degree misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking was filed against Ervington through Magisterial District Judge Duane L. Quinn’s office on Monday, December 2.

A preliminary arraignment is scheduled for 9:45 a.m. on December 12, with Judge Quinn presiding.
