On Friday April 29, New York State Troopers in Elbridge arrested two youths for trying to break into the Marcellus Free Library and Marcellus Lanes, state police officials said.

Jody Wilcox, 16, and William Sears, 17, both of Marcellus, were seen cutting three window screens at the library with intent to go inside to steal money, but were unable to gain access.

They then attempted to get into the Marcellus Bowling Lanes when a person walking his dogs at 5 a.m. heard them break one of the windows at the business, officials said. The person yelled at them before catching one of the youths and detaining him until state troopers arrived on the scene.

Wilcox and Sears were charged with third-degree attempted burglary and fourth-degree criminal mischief and arraigned in town of Marcellus court by Judge Matthew Moses. They were remanded to the justice center on $10,000 cash/$20,000 bond.
