Woman Facing Theft of Services Charge

According to the Pennsylvania State Police at Frackville, Jennifer Lynn Hoffman, 36, of Pottsville ran out of gas on the night of Tuesday, June 6, 2017. 

Police say a service provider had to be summoned to bring gasoline, where Hoffman implied to the service worker that she would pay via a credit card.

Once receiving the service, Hoffman refused to pay.  She was also given a generous grace period to pay the service fee, but she declined.

Hoffman is now facing a charge of theft of services.
