North Strabane Man Pleads Guilty In Standoff Case

A North Strabane Township man pleaded guilty to terroristic threats and firearms possession charges. Lance Stumpf, 53 entered an open plea and will be sentenced on September 12. Police were called to Stumpf’s residence by his girlfriend as he was threatening to shoot police and possibly commit suicide. A stand off of nearly 8 hours occurred with police on October 4. That caused the lockdown of the neighborhood and the AHN Canonsburg Hospital. Stumpf could face 9-16 moths in jail.
