Two Charged With Criminal Trespassing In Lagrange
A man and woman were arrested Friday evening after deputies found them inside a house at the corner of Diagonal and Parsons roads. Norman Farnsworth, 27, of Wellington, and Mary Beth Westbrook, 25, Elyria, face charges of criminal trespassing and criminal mischief. Farnsworth also faces a charge of driving with a suspended license. The house owner, Bernard Ward, reported a break in and found the two occupants inside. Westbrook was found seated on a living room couch while Farnsworth wandered the house and tried to use a telephone. The 1971 Dodge remained stuck in a ditch outside.
