On June 2, 2026, the Lycoming Regional Police Department initiated an investigation following a report from a local home health care agency concerning the unauthorized use of a vehicle belonging to one of its clients. The investigation determined that agency employee, Erika Kennedy, had allegedly taken the client’s vehicle without the owner’s knowledge or permission. The investigating officer further discovered evidence indicating that Kennedy had taken the vehicle on multiple occasions.

Based on the findings of the investigation, a felony arrest warrant was issued for Erika Kennedy on June 15, 2026. The defendant subsequently surrendered to law enforcement and was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Denise Dieter. Bail was set at $25,000, and the defendant was released pending future court proceedings.

All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
