Burglar's Tale Proved False in Erie Case
Erie detectives proved John Bradley's claim that two Buffalo men aided his burglary of the Pennzoil Gas Station on Buffalo Road to be false. Bud Belley of Erie, 26, was arrested as Bradley’s suspect, with Bradley in county jail serving an 80 day sentence. Bradley’s statements and the alleged accomplices’ denials led police to drop the theory, while Bradley confessed to fabricating the claim.

Simpson Drilling Co was paid $70,000 with $26,000 in royalties to come, but production remains disputed and payouts uncertain.
