Police say Bedell lost control of his jeep, went up a slight embankment and flipped over two times. He was thrown from his car and found lying in the snow along the side of the road. Both suspects displayed a handgun, and demanded cash. No one was injured.
Police say the suspects made off with an undetermined amount of money.
On Monday, the Tobacco Prevention Coalition and the American Cancer Society recognized 26 Centre County restaurants that are smoke free. That's out of a total of about 220. The lung association estimates that waiters breath in the equivalent of two packs of cigarettes a day. Officials say the fire started in the attic. No word on a cause or damage estimate.
