My wife and I are small farmers. Farming is hard: when everything goes well, prices are low; when it doesn’t, there’s nothing to sell. Like many small farmers, we pay to grow food for people, but the satisfaction having people eat the food we grow is more than ample reward. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps farmers by letting people buy the food farmers grows. The SNAP program benefits me indirectly by supporting the rural economy generally. I accept Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) coupons, which benefits me directly.

(MCKEAN COUNTY, Pennsylvania; November 9, 2025):  District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that the woman who was convicted at a June jury trial of shooting in the direction of Troopers at a camp in Marshburg, resulting in a 9-hour stand-off in 2024, has been apprehended and extradited back to Pennsylvania. Sharon VANDRISH failed to appear at her scheduled sentencing hearing on August 14th.

A bench warrant was issued for her. She was captured in New York and held in custody until she was extradited back to Pennsylvania through a Governor’s warrant obtained by the District Attorney’s Office. A bench warrant hearing was held on November 6th as required following the apprehension of an offender on a bench warrant. At the hearing, the District Attorney argued that VANDRISH’s bail should be revoked given her failure to appear and flight and announced that there is a warrant for VANDRISH from a Federal agency seeking to remove her from the United States as she is a Canadian citizen. VANDRISH remains incarcerated, and her sentencing has been rescheduled for January. A motion to forfeit the monetary bail previously posted has been filed by the District Attorney’s Office and is pending.
