We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free.

We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

The incident took place on April 8, 2024, when Snyder led Pennsylvania State Police on a chase that reached speeds of 90 miles per hour through Union and Snyder counties. When authorities apprehended him, Snyder was found in possession of approximately 376 grams of methamphetamine, $1,390.40 in cash, a loaded stolen revolver stored in the driver’s side door, and a stolen vehicle.
Snyder pleaded guilty on March 6, 2025, and was sentenced on July 24 by Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann. The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robin Zenzinger prosecuted the case.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This case was part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a Department of Justice initiative aimed at reducing violent crime and gun offenses by fostering partnerships between law enforcement and local communities. The program emphasizes trust-building, supporting violence prevention efforts, and data-driven enforcement strategies to improve public safety.
For residents of Snyder and Union counties, this sentencing removes a repeat offender involved in dangerous criminal activity from the streets, reinforcing efforts to curtail drug trafficking and associated violence in central Pennsylvania.
