Police charge 2

Two people were charged in separate incidents and placed in Lancaster County Prison following weekend disputes in Columbia.
Both incidents happened on Manor Street, police said.
In the first incident, police were dispatched to the 500 block of Manor Street at 3:14 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 9, because of repeated calls of a male walking in the area, causing damage to cars and property.
When police arrived on the scene, they found David Guzman, 18, of 15 East Walnut St., damaging a car in the 700 block of Plane Street. When approached by police, Guzman failed to comply with several verbal commands and a taser was used.
Police said Guzman damaged eight vehicles, with damage ranging from broken windows to body damage. Also, one window was broken with a bench and another had a traffic cone thrown through a window.
Off. Brent Keyser charged Guzman with nine counts of criminal mischief, as well as one count each of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, public drunkenness and underage drinking.
He was arraigned before District Magistrate Jayne Duncan and committed to prison.
About two hours later at 5:13 a.m., police were dispatched to the Fourth and Manor street area for a report of a female standing outside armed with a hand gun. While en route, police were told at least one shot was fired.
Upon arrival, police found between three and five people standing outside at 404 Manor St. and were able to determine that the female who fired the shot entered the home and was still armed, and did fire a shot at another person, who was not hurt.
After securing the area, police were able to talk Alicia Loreto, 28, of 404 Manor St. out of the residence after five minutes.
A nine millimeter handgun, along with nine live rounds of shells were found inside.
Off. Matt Leddy charged Loreto with one count of aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and disorderly conduct.
Loreto was arraigned before Duncan and also placed in Lancaster County Prison.
