Mayor David H. Rhome reminds residents that there is a no-questions-asked policy.
In Canonsburg, nearly 90 percent of all crime is drug-related. And Mayor David H. Rhome said that sometimes those perpetrating the crimes are addicted to street drugs, while other times it is prescription medication. That statistic is just one reason the Canonsburg Police Department is participating in the National Drug Take Back program—an event that will take place in the borough this Saturday and that is sponsored by the borough and the Drug Enforcement Administration. This is the fifth time the borough has participated in the program, which allows residents to properly dispose of all sorts of drugs—over-the-counter, prescription and even street drugs. And Rhome reminds those who are thinking about bringing their unwanted or expired …

For that and so many other reasons, Canonsburg Mayor David H. Rhome encourages the community to attend a drug summit scheduled at Canon-McMillan High School Thursday.
Canonsburg Mayor David H. Rhome said it's time to stop sugar-coating it: Prescription drug abuse has become an epidemic. "It has no boundaries," he said. "It affects the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the famous—no one is immune." That's why Rhome said he encouraged Canon-McMillan School Superintendent Michael Daniels to bring a program about the subject to the district after they attended a similar program in Charleroi. The drug summit on prescription drug abuse was planned, and will be presented Thursday. "We have come to understand that addiction starts in the medicine cabinet," Rhome said.

Mayor David H. Rhome lauded Officer Ashley Price and Sgt. James Spingola for "exemplary" work in apprehending the subject.
A North Strabane man was jailed Sunday afternoon for the attempted robbery of the Subway restaurant in Canonsburg.

After observing the crime scene, officers discovered the bandana, two black gloves and a hooded sweatshirt in the area of the store. The officers then asked an adjacent business and Subway …
