AG: Thousands of fentanyl packets, African wildcats found at Clearfield County home
CLEARFIELD COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Two Clearfield County residents were arrested on drug trafficking charges, Attorney General Dave Sunday announced.
Sunday, whose office was working in collaboration with state police and Clearfield County District Attorney Ryan Sayers, announced the arrest of 27-year-old Jennifer Dixon and 33-year-old Nicholas Rumsey.
According to Sunday, members of the Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics and the state police's SERT team executed a search warrant on a Lawrence Township home June 5.
Agents said the following was found in the home:
Approximately three pounds of methamphetamine, valued at $19,200
Approximately 159 grams of fentanyl, valued at $63,000
Approximately nine grams of heroin, valued at $3,600
Approximately $7,390 in US currency
Packaging/bags
In addition, Sunday said two African wildcats were found in cages in the basement of the home that appeared to be unlawfully kept.
'Our agents never know what they're going to find when they prepare for a search at a residence, and this case was no exception,' Sunday said. 'The agents' seizure of methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin ensures those drugs will not harm surrounding communities. The recovery and rescue of these wildcats provides the animals with opportunities to live safer, healthier lives – not caged in the basement of this home. I am grateful to Pennsylvania State Police and all the agencies involved in this operation for this remarkable seizure.'
The Pennsylvania State Game Commission responded and confiscated both wildcats.
'A large drug bust like this is the result of hard work and diligent investigative efforts by law enforcement,' District Attorney Sayers said. 'Thanks to the efforts of the Pennsylvania State Police and agents with the Attorney General's Office, approximately 7,950 doses of fentanyl will not make it to the streets of Clearfield County. Additionally, the rescue of these African wildcats serves the dual benefit of protecting these exotic creatures and protecting the people in that neighborhood.'
Sunday said their investigation is ongoing, while the Pennsylvania State Game Commission is investigating the wildcat situation.

11 Investigates gets a behind the scenes look at U.S. Open at Oakmont security measures
With more than 200,000 visitors expected to attend the US Open at Oakmont Country Club, the USGA told Chief Investigator Rick Earle that the safety and security of fans and golfers is a top concern. Earle recently visited Oakmont to meet with a representative from the USGA to talk about security measures. Advertisement As workers were putting the finishing touches on the fairways and buildings around the golf course, the USGA was fine-tuning the security plan. 'For us, the thing that's first in paramount importance is the safety, the security and the health of anyone coming to the championship over the course of those seven days,' said Eric Steimer, the USGA Senior Director for US Open Championships. For months now, the USGA has been working with local and state law enforcement on a detailed security plan. 'So, we're good at operating golf championships, but we know our role in security. We really turn to our law enforcement partners to make sure that our plans are buttoned up, leaning into their expertise and what their recommendations are,' Steimer said. Advertisement Plum Borough Police Department is the lead agency, but they'll get help from other local departments, including Oakmont, Allegheny County and Pennsylvania State Police. 'You may have resources brought in from the county, whether it's the command post, mobile command post area,' said John Hudson, a retired Secret Service agent and security consultant. Hudson helped with security during the last US Open by operating drones for the District Attorney's office. The USGA said a 360-degree perimeter will be set up around the sprawling 380-acre course that is enclosed by a fence. Earle: Because it's such a big layout, is it harder to secure? Advertisement Hudson: No, it's actually easier to secure because they have a physical boundary around there with the fence and the limited access points. Police officers, some working undercover, will be stationed inside and outside the course. Fans must go through a metal detector system that the USGA began using a couple of years ago that allows more people in at one time. 'Ultimately, that magnetometer is going to pick up on any items that it hits on that will require potentially a second security measure, whether it's a hand wand or a divest situation where ultimately once that item is rendered safe, you'll be allowed to bring it in,' Steimer said. Advertisement Surveillance cameras and drones will also be used this year. 'So we'll have eyes in the sky, so to speak, which allows us to really be able to respond to any incidents, whether it's a security issue, whether it is a health issue, but really it takes a small army of security out here to make sure that everything is going smoothly and that's not something we're going to skimp on,' Steimer said. In addition to local and state law enforcement officers, the USGA told Earle they will have nearly 300 private security guards to help out as well.

AG: African wildcats, drugs found in home during Clearfield County bust
A Clearfield County drug bust Friday yielded more than $80,000 worth of drugs and two African wildcats, state investigators said. According to Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday, two people are charged with drug offenses and endangering the welfare of children related to the drug bust in Lawrence Township, located outside Clearfield Borough. Sunday said officers seized three pounds of methamphetamine, approximately 159 grams of fentanyl and nine grams of heroin from the home. Approximately $7,390 in currency was also allegedly seized as evidence. African wildcats, exotic cats slightly larger than domestic house cats, were found in the home's basement, investigators said in a release. "Our agents never know what they are going to find when they prepare for a search at a residence, and this case was no exception," Sunday said. "The recovery and rescue of these wildcats provides the animals with opportunities to live safer, healthier lives – not caged in the basement of this home." Sunday said the animals were apparently unlawfully kept, with no evidence found that permits were acquired for them. While criminal charges were filed related to the drug activity, the Pennsylvania Game Commission was investigating the animal issue as a separate matter, Sunday said.

Pennsylvania lawmakers push for public registry to track animal abuse offenders
PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — A new bill would work to better protect animals from harm, specifically, from those convicted of animal abuse. In a memo, Representatives Scott Conklin, Kathleen Tomlinson and Melissa Shusterman are pointing to other states when it comes to practices that work to protect those who cannot speak for themselves. They note that over a decade ago, Tennessee became the first state to adopt a resolution creating a statewide registry for animal abusers. They also note that since then, other states and local governments have introduced similar measures to better protect pets. 'Unfortunately, Pennsylvania is not one of these states, allowing individuals convicted of animal cruelty to go undetected. With no way for the community to quickly check for a past history of abuse, offenders are given the opportunity to continue these heinous acts as they are able to purchase or adopt animals,' The representatives wrote. Here are several cases that WTAJ has covered from Central Pennsylvania: Dogs, cat, bird rescued from abuse situation in Somerset County Bedford dog hoarding case set for trial Two charged after 'indescribable' animal abuse scene at Altoona house fire Four dogs found dead, 19 other animals surrendered in Cambria County According to a 2024 report, since Libre's Law took effect in Pennsylvania in 2017, there have been over 52,000 animal abuse offenses filed. From those numbers, nearly 61% had been for the neglect of animals, 29% were for cruelty to animals and 10% were for aggravated cruelty to animals. The proposed legislation would require people who are convicted of animal abuse to register their personal information and the offense for a 15-year period. They'd also have to annually renew their registration and every county sheriff would be tasked with maintaining a local registry that would be forwarded to state police. That registry would then be publicly accessible. 'As elected officials, it is our duty to protect every Pennsylvanian, including our animal friends and family members who cannot speak for themselves,' according to the memo. The representatives noted that they feel the registry would help to prevent abusers from continuing to inflict harm. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
