Robinson Township Police blotter for Wednesday, Dec. 12.
A Monessen woman forked over $300 for a pair of Justin Bieber concert tickets that turned out to be fakes, according to Robinson police.

Be warned, I am neither of these residents. I’m the other neighbor. I’m the late-night comic who drives a very loud, beat-up car and lives with her retired mother. When the rest of my neighbors from my suburban plan begin their after-work exercise regimens, I’m usually driving right by them, blasting Wiz Khalifa and heading to wherever I’m performing that night. I think my neighbors hate me. …
