LANCASTER — For trashing a Big Apple convenience store and then returning to drive his car through the front door, a Lancaster man was ordered to reimburse the store just over $78,000 to cover the damage.
Richard R. Ruddy, 36, was found guilty in Coos County Superior Court of two felony counts of criminal mischief and one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass.
