MAN FACES FELONY CHARGES

Somerset resident Owen Houpt is facing a felony charge in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash, involving an e-bike rider along Somerset Pike last year. It’s been nearly 14 months since the accident which took the life of Aaron Lancaster. Through interviews with Houpt, witness interviews, and damage to his vehicle, he was charged. Houpt’s bail was set at $150,000 unsecured this past Thursday.
