Man flees police, shaves, then reports truck stolen

Robert Sadlon apparently thought he had police fooled.

After escaping from an officer who had stopped his pickup for a broken tail light, Sadlon went home and reported his truck stolen, authorities said.

When the same officer arrived at Sadlon’s house near Stoystown, Sadlon had changed clothes and shaved his moustache, leaving a pale outline of the just-removed facial hair on his wind-reddened face.

Sadlon, 50, of Lincoln Highway, is accused of drunken driving, escape and related charges filed by Conemaugh Township police before District Judge Joseph Cannoni of Windber.
