FCSO DEPUTIES MAKE MULTIPLE SIGNIFICANT APPREHENSIONS

Deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office had a busy week locating and apprehending wanted individuals throughout Franklin County last week. Below is a synopsis of two significant apprehensions from September 2.

📍 CHAMBERSBURG — SEPTEMBER 2

While in the area of North Main Street in Chambersburg Borough, FCSO Deputies observed an individual matching the description of Angel Perez-Rodriguez, who was wanted on a felony probation violation warrant stemming from charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

Perez-Rodriguez entered the Coyle Free Library on South Main Street in an apparent attempt to avoid Deputies. Deputies continued their apprehension efforts, located Perez-Rodriguez, and took him into custody without further incident.

📍 ANTRIM TOWNSHIP — SEPTEMBER 2

FCSO Deputies responded to a residence on Montgomery Church Road in Antrim Township while attempting to locate Dwaine Heinbaugh Jr. and Shayla Noll, both of whom were wanted on active warrants.

Heinbaugh was wanted by the FCSO on failure-to-appear warrants related to charges including Terroristic Threats, DUI, and Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was also wanted by the Waynesboro Police Department for charges including Possession with Intent to Deliver and Evading Arrest on Foot. Nolls was wanted on an AOPC warrant.

During the investigation, Deputies utilized Flock license plate recognition technology to help develop information regarding the wanted subjects. After identifying a potential location, the FCSO Drone Unit was deployed to provide additional situational awareness and intelligence.

After consent to search the residence was obtained, K9 Moose was deployed to assist Deputies in locating the wanted subjects and encouraging their surrender.

Deputies and K9 Moose ultimately located Heinbaugh and Noll hiding in the attic. Both were safely taken into custody without further incident and transported to the Franklin County Jail.

Following Heinbaugh’s apprehension, the Pennsylvania State Police filed additional charges against him, including Homicide by Vehicle While DUI.

This apprehension demonstrates how FCSO Deputies combine warrant investigations, technology, drone capabilities, K9 resources, training, and sound tactics to safely locate and apprehend wanted individuals who may present a significant threat to public safety.

These apprehensions were also aided by ongoing warrant investigations, citizen tips, and coordinated law enforcement efforts.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to actively pursuing wanted individuals and using the resources available to us to protect the citizens of Franklin County.

All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Yesterday, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office was honored to attend the Hero’s Car Show at the Historic Letterkenny Chapel and Veterans & 9/11 Memorial Park.

This event was a great opportunity for our community to come together to honor and recognize the men and women who have served — and continue to serve — our country and our communities, including our veterans, military personnel, first responders, and emergency responders.

Beyond the incredible collection of cars, trucks, Jeeps, and motorcycles, the day was really about people, service, sacrifice, and community.
We are proud to stand alongside our fellow first responders, veterans, military personnel, and the many organizations and citizens who continue to support those who serve.
