POLK TWP., Pa. (EYT) – Two suspects housed in the Jefferson County Jail stemming from a burglary on Egypt Road are now accused of a second break-in that occurred on Davis Run Road.
According to PSP DuBois, 39-year-old Norman Edward Byerly and 22-year-old Paige Larue Pearsall, both of DuBois, are facing new charges following an investigation into a burglary that happened between January 7 and January 12, approximately three miles from the site of the January 8 burglary on Egypt Road.
