Sullivan Police informed the Sullivan Independent News on Friday that they had a correction to an arrest report made on Friday, Jan. 5.

According to Sullivan Police Lt.

“We have since learned through this arrest that the suspect involved in this case was actually the twin brother of Zachary Schroyer, Jacob Schroyer,” said Lt.
