The two people charged with stealing a car from the White Township Walmart and leading police on a chase are due in court today for a preliminary hearing.
34-year-old Michael Antonio Pucciarelli of Pittsburgh is facing charges of attempted aggravated assault, fleeing or eluding police, theft, conspiracy to theft, two counts of criminal mischief and 25 summary driving counts. 30-year-old Rehny Little was also charged with theft by unlawful taking, conspiracy to that charge, and one summary charge. On August 30th, the two allegedly stole a car from the Walmart parking lot after finding the key on the dashboard. Troopers located the car on Route 422 west, and while they tried several PIT maneuvers and a spike strip to end the chase, the two kept going. The chase eventually ended in Plumcreek Township after troopers used two vehicles to pin the vehicle against the guiderail.
Both have been in Indiana County Jail in lieu of bail since their arrest.
