Somerset —
Somerset Police are trying to determine who broke into a North Maple Street home early Thursday morning, alleg-edly looking for pre-scription drugs.SPD patrol units res-ponded to the residence, located at 315 North Maple Street, Somerset, shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday after a report came in that two females had been robbed there.
The women — Rebecca Cromer, 60, and her adult daughter, Michelle McQ-ueary, 39 — claimed three men entered their home armed with a gun and a knife.One man, a white male wearing baggy shorts, came to the door first, asking to use the women’s phone because he was having car trouble. When the door to the residence was opened, two add-itional white males ent-ered the house.
The men seemed to be targeting prescription medications, police say.The women gave only vague descriptions of the men.
McQueary’s son, Dylan Sellers, was also in the house at the time. Police say he slept through the incident.The suspects allegedly fled on foot after committing the crime, but police were unable to locate them. The police department’s K-9 unit was utilized, but the dog lost track of the men’s scent a short distance away.
The SPD is continuing to look into the incident.Anyone with information about the robbery is encouraged to call 911 or contact the SPD at 678-5176.

Meth lab busted at Economy Inn
The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department has uncovered a meth lab in an area of Somerset where drug activity is not uncommon.
Saturday morning, Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Molen visited room 123 of the Economy Inn on Monticello Street after receiving information that a methamphetamine lab may be located there.
The room, occupied by William Brandon Bailey, 24, and Amanda Nicole Goodman, 27, contained a one-step generator, tubing, liquid fire, starter fluid, and coffee filters — all traditionally used in the making of methamphetamine. -
Homelessness affects even children
Too often, one’s vision of the homeless is limited, seeing them as single adults sleeping alone somewhere on the city streets.
Yet school personnel face a very different reality daily — homeless children.
Sonya Wilds, assistant superintendent of Pulaski County Schools, told the Commonwealth Journal that homelessness is a challenge for many students in the school district.
The numbers are sobering — over 200 homeless students reported to the state every year, just in the Pulaski County School System. - Holiday weekend accidents reported
