SOMERSET COUNTY, Pa (WJAC) — A Somerset County man is facing 10 theft charges, including one felony charge, as well as escape charges, after escaping custody last week.
John Wortman allegedly took delivery packages from the front porch of several homes in Somerset Borough, according to Somerset County district attorney Molly Metzgar. She alleges he also attempted to break into a lottery ticket machine at a gas station.
Authorities said Wortman asked a judge to allow him to receive treatment at a rehab facility instead of a sentence in this case.

DETROIT (AP) — Nissan is urging the owners of about 84,000 older vehicles to stop driving them because their Takata air bag inflators have an increased risk of exploding in a crash and hurling dangerous metal fragments.
Wednesday's urgent request comes after one person in a Nissan was killed by an exploding front-passenger inflator, and as many as 58 people were injured since 2015.
