Shaw identified the Fugitive as Rebecca Mae Martin, age 30, of Buckhorn Drive, Clearfield. Shaw stated that Martin is wanted for an arrest warrant on charges filed by the Pennsylvania State Police.
An Affidavit of Probable Cause filed by Ronan states that at on Oct. 22, 2007, the victim reported to the State Police that three firearms were stolen from his residence along Barnes Lane, Woodland, Clearfield County. The firearms were identified as a Mosberg 500 Jr. 20 gauge pump shotgun, a .243 Remington with birch stock, and a .22 Ruger semi-auto rifle. The firearms were stolen when the victim and his wife were on a family vacation.
