Hatboro Police Arrest Alleged Two-Time DUI Offender

A Churchville man is behind bars after allegedly drinking and driving on two separate occasions this month in Hatboro. 

Brian M. Wladyka, 18, of Churchville, was arrested on May 24 at 6:11 p.m. after officers investigated reports of a possible intoxicated driver on Horsham Road. A patrol officer located and stopped the vehicle on North York Road and found it was the same vehicle and operator from an alleged DUI hit and run in Hatboro earlier this month. 

Wladyka had also been arrested by Hatboro Police on May 5 shortly after 4 a.m. after he allegedly hit a parked vehicle in the 200 block of Bon Air Avenue and attempted to flee the scene. 

In both instances, police said Wladyka failed sobriety testing and was arrested for Driving Under the Influence and related traffic offenses. Because the May 24 DUI arrest was his second in a month and he was also on bail for another matter, he was held for arraignment. Bail was set at $5,000 cash by District Justice John Kessler of Abington. In lieu of bail, Wladyka was released to the custody of the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

Disorderly conduct

Ashley Dobbins, 20 years, of Hatboro, was cited on May 28 at 9:50 p.m. for disorderly conduct when officers assisting at an ambulance call in the 20 block of Byberry Avenue recovered a marijuana pipe that police said she admitted belonged to her.

Harassment

Robert W. Rawlins, 61, of Hatboro, was cited on May 28 at 9:11 a.m. for harassment after he allegedly shoved another person during a disturbance at South Chester Avenue.

Driving Under the Influence

Wendy B. Cracknell, 42 years, of Hatboro, was arrested on May 25 at 10:08 p.m. and charged with Driving Under the Influence and related traffic offenses after an officer investigated complaints about her driving in an unsafe manner and blowing her horn in the area of the Hatboro Summer Fun Festival and Carnival at York and Horsham roads.

Public drunkenness

Kyle C. Gebelein was arrested on May 18 at 5:45 p.m., and charged with public drunkenness after officers investigated reports of an intoxicated subject stumbling in and out of traffic in the area of Moreland Avenue and Penn Street. Police said Gebelein was found highly intoxicated and admittedly under the influence of drugs. 

Warrant service/traffic violations

Johnathan Pierre Reddick, 33, of Philadelphia, was arrested on May 18 at 11:03 a.m. and cited for driving under suspension and registration required. He was released to the custody of the Philadelphia Police Department on an active arrest warrant for receiving stolen property.

Police said a patrol officer stopped a vehicle driven by Reddick in the area of Lincoln Avenue and Summit Avenue for an expired registration plate. The operator had absolutely no identification on his person and officers believed he was providing false information relating to his identity (false name, date of birth, etc). He was taken into custody and transported to Upper Moreland Police Department, where the police's automated fingerprint identification system provided Reddick's true identity and arrest warrants were discovered.  

Theft from vehicle

Sometime overnight between May 16 and May 17 someone entered an unlocked vehicle parked in the 30 block of West Montgomery Avenue. Once inside, they shuffled and searched through numerous items in the car but the only thing reportedly missing is the insurance card.
